So today I had some thoughts about life. Fullfillment of life. What does that mean? Answering to a call? Fullfilling a goal? Undertaking certain activities? The attitude towards life? Filling life with satisfying activities? Fullfillment of life? Wat does that look like? Living by rules? Following the heart? Living by reason? Going with the flow? Pursuing what you value? Receiving what is offered to you?
And how is God related to all these things? It is often said that God can only give true fulfillment of life. He fills the void in our existence it is said.
The bible says that Jesus was the fulfillment of the law. Did he answer to a call? Did he fulfill a goal? What was he undertaking? What was his attitude towards life... maybe even, what was his attitude towards death. What did his life look like. Did he live by rules? Did he follow his heart? Did he live by reason? Did he go with the flow? What values did he pursue? What did he receive what was offered to him?
How can men connect to Jesus and to God? God is already connected to me. He gave promises that will be fulfilled. Is that the answer? Finding fulfillment in the promises of God...
Finding fulfillment in the promises of God. That sounds so vague and out there. Yet also very clear and simple.
I find fulfillment in my life through the promises of God
Dear Harmen, a very important question, and the answer is not easy to give. Maybe a part of Efesians letter they received from Paul, can give more thoughts about the answer: let yourself fullfill with the holy spirit. Its probably an on going question for every day and not a state of life. And as I saw you the last weeks, you allready have a lot of love in your heart for God, for people and animals. So I think alltough you don't feel like being fullfilled, you are a giving person. That is just possible for people who are filled with love.(: Ma
