What Gives You Joy And Satisfaction? by Righteousness89(m): 7:51am On Jul 12, 2020 |
So many people today get their joy and satisfaction from what they have. Many derive their joy from having Money . Many derive their satisfaction from Power, Position or appointment. Many get their joy as a result of having Married a beautiful woman Many are satisfied as a result of having attained academic degrees Many get their joy and satisfaction as a result of having Children Many get their joy as a result of being owners of the latest automobiles and architectural wonders. If these things are what gives you Satisfaction, you are operating on a false Satisfaction. All of them will be done away with. While having these things are good, this should not be our source of satisfaction or joy. The Reason being that these things are Earthly and can collapse at anytime. These things will pass away with World. 1Cor 7:29-31 29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; 31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. No one should be Deceived with Earthly gains. No one has ever died and went to eternity with His Cheque book or Houses. No one has ever died and went to eternity with his/ her position or degrees. 1 Timothy 6:6-7 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. We should treat these Earthly things with very light hands. We didn't come with them and we will not Carry them out! They will all be done away with. Our Joy and Satisfaction should be that Wr know JESUS Christ. Our Joy and Satisfaction should be that we have Accepted JESUS. Our Joy should be that we are filled with the Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit. Our Joy should be that we Love one another with the Love of God. Our Joy should be that our Names are written in the Book of life. Our Joy should be that if we called home today, we will open our eyes in glory. Our Satisfaction should be that we are obeying God's Commandments and doing His will Our Satisfaction that we are winning souls for the Kingdom of God. Anything apart from these, is a False Satisfaction.. I have Carefully seen how Nations of the world are collapsing in these Season. I have Carefully seen how all the things will strive for to get are being destroyed and carried away like mere toy. I saw great palaces , automobiles, edifices, etc collapse under split seconds. I begin to ask myself, what is the need of killing yourself to acquire all these that could disappear at anytime? Let us begin to pursue what Matters. Let's stop Pursuing shadows. Let's feed the soul with what will guarantee it eternal life.. Let's Humble ourselves Befor God, Accept JESUS CHRIST and Be Ready for Eternity. May God Give us Understanding of these things..

True talk. The joy of the Lord, for what makes the Lord happy is what makes me happy, so when the Lord's happy I am also happy, for my happiness is tied to the Lord's happiness. Therefore I ensure that I always do the things that please Him, for hence is my joy fulfilled. And this joy that I have the world didn't give to me, so the world cannot take it away. Glory be to God! 2 Likes |
