Better
With the beginning of a new year we aim to make changes in our life in order to make it better. For many, this means changes in habits in order to have better health. For others, it means changes to improve finances. Regardless of the changes, the purpose is to have a better life.
There is one area of utmost importance that we tend to ignore when defining our priorities. If we want our life to be better we can’t leave behind the spiritual area. We can agree that having everything doesn’t mean having a better life. No matter how much wealth we have there will always be a void in our lives.
That void can only be filled by God. As hard as we try to satisfy this need, we will continue to live without meaning until we engage in a relationship with the one who gave us life.
This is not about religion, as we can easily fall into meaningless routines, engaging in practices where we talk about God without truly experiencing it.
God wants more than that for us.
who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places – Ephesians 1:3/2:6
In him we have obtained an inheritance – Ephesians 1: 11a
to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God – Ephesians 3: 19a
If we only understood what it means to be children of God!
Whether it is having everything or having nothing, all will stay behind in this world. What matters is that we are already blessed in the heavenly places, that we already have an inheritance, that we are already loved incomprehensibly and that we can already possess the fullness of the most powerful being in the universe.
To have God is to have a better life.
