Keeping a Heart Forever Filled

Can you believe Easter is just around the corner? Easter is a great time to come together to celebrate Jesus's Resurrection. His death on the cross just shows how great and unbeatable his love is for us. Because of Jesus, our sins can be cleansed away. Knowing that Jesus overcame death just shows that he can overcome any problems in our life.  I am always happy during Easter because it is the greatest time of year where everyone comes to church and remembers Jesus's love for us. Although Easter is a special time to remember Jesus, we should also take the time to put Jesus as priority of our lives throughout the year. Remember to thank Jesus not just on Easter but everyday in our lives. It's very easy to loose our focus on God during our daily lives. Much of our time is consumed with work, school, family, and friends. But don't forget that the most important thing in our life is God. He should be above all else that exists on this earth. Only through Jesus can we be content with our life and have have our hearts filled up. I've tried many times turning to other things in my life to fill my heart, but I learned one thing at the end: Nothing can fill your heart completely except having Jesus as the center of your life. 

Growing your love for Jesus and putting him first in your everyday life is what will truly fill up your heart. Many people say money and love is all you need. It's true that money and love can make you happy, but it won't keep your heart filled up forever. Sooner or later you will find gaps in your life. As humans, we always find ourselves wanting more and the things of this world can only offer us so much to a point where it can't satisfy us forever. But with God, you will never find yourself not content. God is the only perfect thing that exists and is the only one who can restore the gaps in your heart. That is why God should always be the center of your life and top priority over anything else. Whether you are a child, a young adult, a married couple, or even an elder, everyone needs to put God first in their lives. When God is the center of your life, your work, and your relationship, everything will fall together perfectly and you will find yourself having a heart forever filled.

Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." When you put God first in your life, everything else will fall into place. Trust God and let him fill up the gaps in your life. So Remember, God is the only one who can give you a heart forever filled.
