Many of us are on the road to redemption and in pursuit of love, peace, and joy. How great it is that we can have it all in Christ. He died on the cross so that we all might be saved (John 3:16). He’s Lord and Savior to everyone that believes in Him.
We have to get out of our own way and surrender our intellect to God and trust that He is who He says He is (Proverbs 3:5-6). Otherwise, it makes it difficult to trust in a God we can’t physically see. But when we allow God’s power to move in our hearts, we will feel the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7).
God has promised that if we seek Him with our whole heart, we will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). He wants to reveal Himself to everyone, but He loves us and is gentle and will not force us into a relationship with Himself. He gives each of us a choice to choose Him wholeheartedly.
Are you searching for something to fill the void in your heart? Do you lack peace, joy, and true love in your life? Does it seem something is missing in your life? Are you in pursuit of joy, but nothing ever seems to satisfy your yearning for peace and contentment?
Well, if you haven’t sold out completely to or trusted in the One that can fill you with peace, joy, and love, give Jesus a chance. After all, what is that you have to lose other than uncertainty and restlessness?
Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your plan of redemption so that I might have peace, joy, and love in my heart. Thank You for saving me and setting me on the straight path. Fill every void in my life as no one else can. In Jesus’ name, amen.
