There is nothing more deflating than finally achieving something you fought hard for, only to realise that it wasn’t enough to fix the issues within. This then begs the question:
How can one achieve true joy within their soul?
A strong and united family, a wealthy bank account, good health – many things may come to mind. However, contrary to what many people believe, true fulfilment and inner joy cannot be attained merely by achieving external success.
So, where do these feelings of emptiness stem from and how can one truly be free?
For many, the loss of a loved one, job termination, debts, amongst many other losses has driven them into a downward spiral of deep sadness and loneliness. Others say that they are not yet fulfilled due to a lack of prosperity or unmaterialised dreams.
Whatever the cause of this inner void, one must face these destructive feelings in order to combat them – time alone cannot heal an empty soul.
The Apostle Paul better explained this in his letter to the Galatians. True joy, peace and fulfilment is achieved once a person has the Presence of the Living God dwelling within them:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace (…)” (Galatians 5:22 NKJV)
If you or someone you know can relate to the themes mentioned above and would like to be filled with the joy, peace and power of God, add this date to your calendar:
