Purpose Fulfillment

-Betty Hines

"Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.”

Isaiah 55:1-2 (NKJV)

Believe in the LORD your GOD, and you shall be established; believe and remain steadfast to His prophets, and you shall prosper (in part from II Chronicles 20:20). Moreover, it is in Him we live, we move, and we have our being (Acts 17:18). JESUS, the incarnate Word of GOD, is the Bread of Life, and those who come to Him shall never hunger, and those who believe in Him shall never thirst (John 6:35). In search of a fulfilling life, a happy, satisfying life, we in our human frailty grasp for “things” or “others,” if not both, to do what only JESUS can do. After I reached adult age, I lived life as I chose to live it for many years. While everything appeared to be okay, there came a time I felt empty and unfulfilled. I had money, shelter, clothes, and cars and provided for my children as a single parent for most of those years. But something was missing. There was a void, a place in my heart that was longing for “better.” I believed GOD existed, but I had not come to “truly know” for myself, The One in Whom All Things Consist. At an early age, on a Sunday morning dressed in my little white dress, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and was taken to the river, literally the river, and baptized. The word of GOD says to “train up a child in the way they should go,” but because of GOD’S free-will, we sometimes choose the way we think we want to go instead of the way we “should go.” Thank GOD for His GRACE
