True fulfillment

The Lord your God is in your midst, a Mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17

Do you ever feel that something is missing? When I was younger, I used to always be looking for something more. When I was in university, I found a sense of achievement in getting good grades. I thought that was fulfilling. Then after graduation, I tried to find meaning in my career. I worked for a long time in a charity organisation that supported vulnerable people and I found that gave my life meaning. But there was still an emptiness – I was looking for something else.

I grew up in a Christian household and I, regrettably took my relationship with GOD for granted. Only when I was older and faced a personal crisis did I learn to turn to HIM. Although my experience was painful it brought me closer to GOD. It taught me to see, really SEE, my blessings. It taught me gratitude and humility. And most of all, the hollowness in my heart became filled with the only One who could fill it — GOD. I learned that a deep relationship with GOD was what I was looking for my whole life.

Dear Reader, I hope if you ever feel that there is something missing in your life, you realise there is only One that can fulfill you. He isn’t far and He’s been there for you all along.

God bless you ~M
