No, really. How are you? Have you sat down and considered it lately? I'm not talking about your current state of emotion. I'm talking about the very core of your being. What's going on inside? What feeling do you get when you are alone and still? - How are you?
A lot of times we are so busy living life that we don't take time to assess our mental, physical, emotional state while we're going through life.
Are you happy? Sad? Disappointed? Depressed? Tired? Joyful? Content? Indifferent? Hopeless? Lonely?
Take some time to get a clue as to what's going on with you. Any answer in the negative, you probably need to sit down with the Father and figure out how to change that situation around.
You're not here to just exist. You have a genuine purpose to fulfill. And while you're out here living it, you are supposed to be full of life of Christ! (John 10:10) God's life brings joy, peace, contentment, and fulfillment. If you're not experiencing these things - there's a disconnect somewhere.
Don't just let life wash over you. Don't let what you're going through affect your life in Christ. Don't just put on a brave face every day and ignore your own inner cries for help.
Jesus wants you to stay full of joy. With joy (notice it's not happiness, but joy), you receive peace and contentment. It's a wonderful way to live.
If you're not living your life with joy and peace, get before the throne of God and ask Him to show you how to get there. Ask Him to guide you back into His fulfilling way of life.
Verse of the Day: These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. John 15:11
