Living Life to the Fullest

I think the temptation today is to expect that life will come to you. That you can just live life centered on your self and your goals, all you have to do is get to know yourself and in doing so you will find happiness and contentment. Every one of my children thinks the world revolves around them. One of my chief goals as a mom is to break them of this illusion. It is my hope that someday they will start to find joy in making their focus outward rather than inward.

My friends, I hope the same for you. Now, I get that sometimes, life is really hard. Some days, survival mode takes over and you have no choice but to rebuild your own health and strength. Life doesn't end there. You WILL have times of recovery. You WILL have times of plenty. Don't let the ball stop rolling once you finally start recovering balance.

The quest for living life to the fullest doesn't have to center around "me". Fulfillment and blessings abound when your life focus is to give of yourself and your resources to impact other people in your life. So I ask you - where are the needs around you? Have you focused your efforts so much on making the places you are comfortable for yourself that you are leaving out the needy, the brokenhearted, the hungry around you? If you aren't willing to pick up your feet and walk to where the needs are, find those needs and start meeting those physical and spiritual needs, how small your world is!

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction" James 1:27a
