… in thy presence is fullness of joy. Psalms 16:1
You can ONLY find true fulfillment in life by yielding to Christ’s authority and allowing Him full control of your life. At first, not getting your own way may seem like a great sacrifice. But when you choose God’s way instead and make decisions based on his guidance and His will, your life will always end up being more fulfilled, more rewarding, and more joyful.
Romans 8:28 says, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose, When we live with Christ as Lord of our lives, God works all circumstances for our ultimate good and his ultimate purposes.
The fullness of joy comes when we have our God as LORD. A master who has complete authority and ownership of you and me. Nothing of our choice but completely surrender. This was possible because Jesus Christ redeemed us (bought us) and now He has complete authority. You and I have a price tag, ie; the blood of Lord Jesus Christ. Do you have the fullness of joy? if not there are some areas in your life, your God is not LORD in your life. As we come to worship together, let us have an attitude of complete surrender.
Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.- A.W. Tozer.
