Fulfillment


Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 



How does it feel when one doesn't reach their dreams? Frustrating. Will they carry such frustrations even in heaven? No. 


The fulfilment and satisfaction you will get in heaven will be so satisfactory that you won't even regret why you didn't achieve this or that. Humanistic thinking wants us to think that the earth is all there is. So people are all out to meet earthly, carnal and fleshy desires. If they don't get married they want to curse God and everyone, if they don't get their dream house, dream job, dream car then they live gloomy lives. The bible says we are complete in Christ. Nothing adds to that perfection if it is earthly in nature. A broken relationship doesn't complete or perfect you, you are already complete. 


The same completeness we have in our spirits is what we shall enjoy throughout eternity. Although the memory of having not achieved this and that will still exist, but it won't matter. What is the most enjoyable thing here on earth? Heaven's delights will be much more. 


Don't live with a myopic view of life, have an eternal perspective. There's life after here, more fulfilling, exciting, more satisfying and full of fun. This will affect your way of doing things here. People who are here and now thinkers use force, bribery, cheating, lying to get ahead. People with an eternal perspective live with love, mercy, peace, compassion for the former. 


I heard a man of God say that when it comes to things which matter in eternity, those are the things he spends on the most, exerts all his energy on and contends for. But the things which the world is for, he holds them loosely and doesn't care whether he has them or not. He gave an example of how people fight to get ahead of others if they are lining up to check-in for a flight. And for him he doesn't care one bit, he doesn't even get mad whether everyone gets a head or whether he misses that flight. But when it comes to preaching the gospel, there he exerts all his energy. 


If you put on an eternity mindset, you will major on the majors and minor on the minors.
