My child, let love guide you today. I will bless you as you bless others. Look for ways to encourage. Be intentional in your giving. As you give, serve and bless, you will experience My joy, peace and fulfillment. I am able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency for everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.
2 Corinthians 9:6-12
My child, to have significance in this life you have to serve. That’s the way I made you. When you give you feel more alive than when you receive. Become more of a giver. Serve others with a cheerful heart. Do you want a fulfilling life? Serve and give.
Matthew 20: 26-68
My child, life is so much more than what this world has to offer. Life is to know Me, the Creator of all things. When you know Me and My plans and purpose for you, life takes on a whole new meaning. Seek to know Me. I desire intimacy with you. Seek Me with your whole heart and enter in to true life. Life that fulfills you at the deepest level. Life that lasts for eternity.
Many Christians get hope confused with faith in their thinking, believing them to be somewhat the same thing. Not so. Hope first comes into play when a promise is given (the same promise we later put our faith in). But hope is different from faith; by definition it is a desire with some expectation of fulfillment. Who hopes for something they don’t want? Anticipating something you have absolutely no desire for would be senseless! And so would hoping for something that you had absolutely no expectation of ever happening.
I might desire to have the glory and sense of accomplishment that being an Olympic runner would bring, but I have zero expectation of it ever being fulfilled. Or I might have some expectation that one day I may have to run for my life from an assailant, but I have no desire for it ever to happen. Neither scenario combines both of the underlying qualifications that make hope possible—that is, a desire along with some expectation of fulfillment. No, we must possess a desire for what we hope for. And we must also have some expectation, no matter how small, that it might be possible.
Hope is the great motivator; no accomplishment—or even action—in life is possible without hope first being present. God has set the following progression in stone: first hope is born in our heart through the promise of the Gospel. Then in drawing us to Himself, God gives us the gift of faith by which we act on that hope. Through faith we receive His promise, being born again and becoming a new creation. Justification, righteousness, reconciliation, redemption and sanctification are all ours solely by the grace of God as we act on His promise by receiving Christ.(John 1:12) But ultimately it is a lifestyle of faith, validated by obedience, by which we obtain the fullness of that promise.(Philippians 3:13-14)
My child, look not to the world for your fulfillment. Nothing here will satisfy you. Only I can fill that deep void in you. Spend time with Me. Rely on Me alone. I am your everything and I alone will bring you peace.
Let My word sustain you today. Breath in the truth of My word and soak in My Presence. Let the truth of My word wash over you and give you peace and hope. Let My word be your food. I satisfy and bring fulfillment to a dry and thirsty soul.
Psalm 119: 105 & 116
My child, My lovingkindnesses never cease and My compassions never fail. They are new every morning. I am faithful. I am your portion. Place all of your hope in Me. Nothing else will ever satisfy. Nothing else will ever bring the fulfillment you search for. I am your portion. Hope in Me alone. Lamentations 3:22-24
My child, be encouraged today. Look to Me for your joy and strength. The world cannot give you the peace and fulfillment you are searching for. Only I can provide that. Embrace Me and be filled with the Holy Spirit. I have everything you need.
John 4: 10-14
My child, I am the resurrection and the life. I give life to all who come to Me and confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts that I am Lord and Savior. I rose from the dead and am seated at the right hand of the Father. I and My Father are One and long for you to come into the Kingdom that awaits you. Come and receive life. Enter in to the life I have for you. Forsake the world and all its emptiness and come be satisfied in My Presence. All joy, all satisfaction, all fulfillment is in Me alone. Come experience life.
John 11:25 Mark 16:19 John 10:30
My child, true fulfillment is in Me alone. I planned it that way. As long as you seek for satisfaction in anything other than Me alone you’ll be miserable. Come to Me with all your thoughts. Come to Me with your plans, hopes and dreams. Come to Me, not only with your prayer requests, but with your worries, your concerns and your fears. In Me, you will find the depth of life and the wisdom to live it.
