How to Find Joy and Fulfillment

Lord, I want a full life of joy and fulfillment. Because I’m so tired of these struggles of life.

Child of Mine, the way to find joy and fulfillment is to become full of Me, My Holy Spirit.

Lord, how do I do that? I try. But then I get distracted and busy with life demands and activities. So how do I stay full of Your Holy Spirit?

Child, for one thing, pray without ceasing. This doesn’t mean pray your “prayer list” or focus on praising Me constantly. Although it is pleasing to Me when you do. But pray without ceasing is talking with Me all throughout your day about everything, all your concerns and also all your joys and victories too.

In fact, I want to be by your side throughout all your days for I love you and I want to be with you. Have you ever thought of that, My child? I want to be with you because I love you.

It is not anything you do for I freely give My love without cost. It is a free gift of love I give unto you. I love you as you are now and as you will be in your future. I already know your future. You do know that don’t you?

Yes Sir, I do.

So, My child, why do you worry so? Do you not know I hold your future in My hands? So let go, My child. Let go of all your preconceived ideas of what your future should be.

Focus instead on spending your time in My Presence. That My child, is where your strength will be found, in My Presence. The more time you spend in My Presence, the stronger you will become. The more time you spend in My Presence, the more joy and fulfillment you will have in your life.

You struggle to exercise your body, especially with the pain of recovery. You are reawakening parts that have not been used in a long time. Now those parts scream at you in protest. They want the status quo of weakness without pain.

My child, sometimes the stretches and bends of life cause pain. But they also increase strength. So, push through My child. Rewards will come. Joy and fulfillment will come. Victory will come.

Never stop praying. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Philippians 4:6

I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! Psalms 116:1,2

Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Mark 14:38

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. Ephesians 6:18

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what god wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. Romans 8:26,27

It’s A New Thing

Welcome to this new beginning. For several years, I’ve wrote the blog, “Talking to My Weight Loss Counselor- God.” Then over a year ago, I got very discouraged and walked away. Yep, the one who always says, “Never Give Up” just walked away.

But for several weeks now, God’s been speaking to my heart, “Write and it will come.” So, I’m beginning again. Every day, I look at this scripture. God is about to do something new.

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NLT

God is so much more than a weight loss counselor. In fact, I’d say He’s an awesome life coach. After all, He is the way, the truth, and the life. Therefore, I’ll also write about life issues and spiritual issues in addition to weight loss. So, we’ll see how it turns out.

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NLT

I know this verse was written to Isaiah, but it seems God has been impressing upon me that He’s about to do a new thing in my life too. What new thing is God impressing upon you?

The real question is, “Are we listening to hear His voice speaking to our hearts? Or do we just go through the motions of life, day by day in monotony?”

One way to get rid of monotony is to seek God’s guidance and wisdom for your day. You could actually turn it into a game, “Ok God, what now?” Then watch and see what He does with your day. You’ll be surprised at how it turns out.

One thing I enjoy is journaling my blessings for each day. In addition, I look for a miracle each day, no matter how small it seems. God will give you a miracle every day too. Look for it.

Today I walked to the end of the cul-de-sac in my neighborhood. Small, but it was a miracle to me. Because I’ve been in recovery from knee replacement surgery. So, walking down to the end of the cul-de-sac is a major event for me.

Now what’s your miracle for today? God gives miracles every day. but you have to look for them. I write mine down in my blessing book every day. At the beginning of this year God told me to look for miracles every day. So, look for your miracles too.

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NLT
