True Fulfilment
There is far more to your inner life than the food
you put in your stomach, more to your outer
appearance than the clothes you hang on your
body (Luke 12:23 MSG).
Life has much deeper fulfilments than money,
material things, and earthly pleasures. Some
people have amassed so much wealth and abundant
material possessions, yet they aren’t fulfilled. Some
think that by acquiring more money and properties,
making more friends, having more children or getting
more famous, they’ll finally become fulfilled, but they’ve
realized it’s not so. True fulfilment is in discovering
your divine purpose; God’s will for you in Christ, and
accomplishing it.
Jesus said, “…My meat is to do the will of him
that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34).
That should be your goal, your joy, your fulfilment and
satisfaction. You need to realise that man is a spirit
being; therefore, the most important things in his life
are spiritual. His fulfilment will come from his spirit as
he fulfils God’s purpose. There’s a divine purpose for
your life, which you must discover and achieve, for
you to be truly fulfilled in life.
Have you asked yourself, “What does God really
want for my life?” When you discover His dream
for you, be glad about it, and go for it, and you’ll be
fulfilled. Not everybody may be excited about what
God has called them to do, but if you’re spiritually
minded, you’ll be. Be determined to please Him in all
things, and He’ll fill your heart with joy.
As you study the Word, fellowship with the Holy
Spirit and function in the church, you’ll discover your
specific purpose in Him, and how exactly He wants
you to live. That way, life would be more meaningful
to you and you’d be able to help others discover their
purpose in life, and experience true fulfilment.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for my true fulfilment, which lies in
doing your will. You’re at work in me, to will and to do your
good pleasure. Thank you for guiding me by your Spirit in the
direction of your perfect will. My promotion, prosperity, victories,
and joy are guaranteed as I fulfil my purpose in you, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
