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."
