Life of Fulfillment

Life of Fulfillment

Psalm 66:10-12 “For you, O God, have tested us; you have refined us as silver is refined …we went through fire and through water; but you brought us out to rich fulfillment.”

Everywhere we turn, or so it seems, the world promises fulfillment, contentment, and happiness. But the contentment the world offers is fleeting and incomplete. Thankfully, the fulfillment that God offers is all encompassing and everlasting.

Sometimes, amid the inevitable hustle and bustle of life here on earth, we can forfit – albeit temporarily – joy of Christ as we wrestle with the challenges of daily living. Yet God’s word is clear: fulfillment through Christ is available to all who seek it and claim it. Count yourself among that number. Seek first personal, transforming relationship with Jesus, and then claim the joy, the fulfillment, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepard offers His sheep. Find satisfaction in Him who made you, and only then find satisfaction in yourself as part of His creation.

This is something I have learned over the past few months. It is sad I had to hit the bottom and realize this, but sometimes that is what it takes.
