What do you really want?

Are you really satisfied with what you get out of life? Will things that you can see, hear, smell, taste and feel provide you with an everlasting abundance of value and joy?
Oftentimes, what we desire the most in our lives are outcomes that can only be fulfilled from within ourselves. Will dollar signs provide an answer to having a closer relationship with God? Will an impartial society mould a person into one who possesses deep values of integrity? Can an improving economy possibly make way for a clear direction in life?
According to Psalms 16:11, "In Your presence is fullness of joy". It's an inevitable fact that humans are greedy beings. Earthly gifts from God can only clear our skies for a day. We will not be satisfied unless we receive the fullness of joy that God provides.
So, remain in the right relationship with the Lord! Become thankful in prayer and trigger his power, worship and praise Him with an attitude that's truly expressed through your mind & body, but most importantly,
let Him and His word rule in our hearts. :)
As the spirit's strength continues to build up our "inner man", we will realise that it's not up to an external entity to fulfill our desires, but that it's all about God and letting Him have a place in our hearts;
within ourselves. Let Him be the right choice as we begin to realise and achieve our heartfelt outcomes and goals. He is and will bring us true happiness. :)
I know not by what methods rare
The Lord provides for me,
I only know that all my needs
He meets so graciously.
Just trying to revive this almost "dead" blog by putting up my first entry. I hope you like it - this entry is basically how I felt after reading my Daily Bread. :)
