Inspired by Philippians 4:11–13 (NIV)
 
Bathed in divine light, the face of a beautiful Black child emerges from a deep black background—calm, radiant, and unshaken. The surrounding darkness symbolizes life’s many unknowns—lack, waiting, or longing—yet the child's expression is filled with quiet strength and unwavering peace.
Illuminated by God’s comforting, guiding presence, this painting captures the mystery and beauty of true contentment: not found in circumstances, but in Christ alone, who gives us strength in every season.
The Secret to Being Content is a visual meditation on faith, trust, and inner strength—a reminder that whether in plenty or in need, we are held, known, and empowered by the One who never changes. This piece invites viewers to rest in that holy assurance and to pursue life with a heart grounded in divine peace.
