Unleash the Good Life at WorkSample

Unleashing Goodness

We don’t have to wait until Jesus returns, or even until all our problems come to an end, to experience the good life. The Bible tells us that the Kingdom of God is within us today. We can experience the goodness of God here and now, even in the midst of the brokenness that exists in this world. It all depends on the daily choices we make to develop and unleash the fruit of the Holy Spirit as we go through life. 

• Surrender your plans to God. God promises that He can use even the most difficult circumstances for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. God uses the hard times to refine and transform you bit by bit into the image of Christ. Those challenges you struggle through are the very experiences God uses to make you stronger, increase your faith, and fill you with His enduring joy.


• Put your confidence in Christ. By allowing the Holy Spirit to work in and through you, you will not only face whatever life throws your way with courage, you will experience the freedom that comes with walking in the fruit of the Spirit and have the privilege of seeing a foretaste of the Kingdom of God on earth. 


• Take delight in the Lord. Embark on this journey with God, trusting that His plans are better than you can imagine, and doing what He leads you to do. When you do, you will experience the inexplicable delight of a close relationship with God allowing Him to plant His desires for you in your heart, then seeing those desires fulfilled.

We can’t possibly know the eternal impact of what we walk through. But God does. He will continue to work in and through us as we walk in faith and make our relationship with Him our first priority. Surrendering our lives fully to God provides freedom and an awesome Kingdom view.

Prayer

Father God, I surrender my plans and desires to you. My confidence is in Christ and the work you are doing in and through me. I commit to seeking you first so that my life and all I do points others to You. May it be for Your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
