Fulfillment

Fulfillment is a quality of life that few men attain. As always, God's conditions for fulfillment are far different from the world's. The first condition is to be poor in spirit. God loves those who have a contrite spirit and a broken heart. He loves those who have the humility to give Him the credit for all they have in life and all that they are as a person.They seek first His kingdom and righteousness, spiritual wealth and holiness. Anything God gives them of earthly value they thank Him for and then look for opportunities to pass on the extra to others who are in need. They are rich in faith, hope, and love. Having Jesus, they need nothing else. They are fulfilled--content--because He lives and reigns in their hearts. Forever.
The fulfilled man takes no thought for material things. He is careful about one thing only--His relationship with His Savior. He trusts God to take care of His needs. He trusts God to put him where he is needed and to use him there to show the love of God to others. He is delighted that God knows more about tomorrow than he does. He knows that God gives so much more than a man needs.
The fulfilled man knows that he is--right now--a member of the Kingdom of God. And he knows that no one can take that from him. He knows that God has chosen "the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to them that love Him."
