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 fulfilment.
PSALM 66:10-12 NKJ
"Everywhere we turn, or so it seems, the world promises fulfilment, contentment, and happiness. But the contentment that the world offers is fleeting and incomplete. Thankfully, the fulfilment that God offers is all encompassing and everlasting.
Sometimes, amid the inevitable hustle and bustle of life-here-on-earth, we can forfeit-albeit temporary-the joy of Christ as we wrestle with the challenges of daily living. Yet God's word is clear: fulfilment through christ is available to all who seek it and claim it. Count yourself among that number. Seek first a personal, transforming relationship with jesus, and then claim the joy, the fulfilment, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepard offers His sheep." p112
"We are made for God, and nothing less will satisfy us" - BRENNAN MANNING p112
"Find satisfaction in Him who made you, and only then find satisfaction in yourself as part of His creation." - ST. AUGUSTINE
"We are never more fulfilled than when our longing for God is met by His presence in our lives." - BILLY GRAHAM
"Our sense of joy, satisfaction, and fulfilment in life increases, no matter what the circumstances, if we are in the centre of God's will." - BILLY GRAHAM
TODAY'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, when I turn my thoughts and prayers to You. I feel peace and fulfilment. But sometimes, when I am discouraged by the busyness of the day, fulfilment seems far away. Today, let me trust Your will, let me follow Your commands, and let me accept Your peace. Amen
