Wednesday's Word ~ Fulfilled

 

Are you fulfilled?

The definition of fulfilled is to be satisfied or happy because of fully developing one's abilities or character.

If I'm honest, I do not feel fulfilled.   There are things that I think need to be fulfilled. If I only had that or if he only acted like that of if she had said that...IF! IF! IF! {If if and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas!!! 🎅}

Truth is, we can't be fulfilled by another person: even if they give us everything we want or need.  Only GOD can fulfill us!  It's only through reading HIS word and talking to HIM through prayer that we can know HIM and be fulfilled.

So many of us, all of us, have an idea of what would make us happy. It may be food, sex, money, baseball cards, whatever.  You fill in the blank.  We all think we know what is best for us, and we hate being told any differently.  

It has been said we can't pour into others when we, ourselves, are empty vessels.    

How can we encourage others if we aren't being encouraged?

How can we counsel others if we aren't being counseled?

How can we love others if we aren't being loved

WE  CAN'T

We have to choose to let GOD pour into us or we can't be fulfilled at all.
