Deep down, all of us want to feel fulfilled. The restlessness in humans can sometimes be mistaken for godly ambition. The desire to save the world kills many and makes you wonder if it is divine in any form.
Finding fulfillment involves a holistic approach, discovering meaning for personal aspirations through the knowledge of God. Recognising that external pursuits alone may not bring lasting contentment, turning towards faith and acknowledging a higher purpose will provide a profound sense of meaning. As the Bible says, God has provided everything pertaining to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him (2 Peter 1:3).
Finding out God’s intention is better than kicking in the dark for direction and fulfillment.
External pursuits alone may not bring lasting contentment.
Before his Damascus experience, Paul, also known as Saul, was a zealous persecutor of Christians. He played a significant role in the early persecution of followers of Jesus. However, his life took a transformative turn on the road to Damascus.
After encountering a divine light and hearing the voice of Jesus, Paul was blinded and underwent a profound change. His question, “What do you want me to do, Lord?” (Acts 9:6), signifies the shift from persecutor to a follower seeking guidance. This moment marked the beginning of Paul’s transformative journey.
In his subsequent life, Paul became a fervent apostle, spreading the teachings of Christ. His experiences reflect the idea that seeking God’s guidance can lead to a purposeful and fulfilling life. It highlights the transformative power of faith and the willingness to align one’s actions with a higher purpose.
