Jeremiah 31:25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

When we get to learn we are sinners and in need of forgiveness, our souls become heavy and we don’t always see the way forward until someone is kind enough to explain.

Christ will send someone your way or will plant the seeds in your own mind so you can move forward with Him.

It is the love of Christ that shines through everything around us to give us hope of the future with God in heaven.

That hope fills up our hearts and the love and joy spill over for others to see.

Psalm 107:9 For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.

When we are willing to listen to God and obey Him we find He is more than willing and faithful to supply our needs and fill us with joy and peace.

This is not to say we will all have an abundant earthly life if we just believe in God but rather our souls will be filled with all of our needs.

We will also find He does look after us and does supply our needs in earthly ways which would otherwise seem improbably or even impossible.

I personally enjoy seeing how much God does in my life as a live a life depending more on Him each day. It is not always easy, but very fulfilling!

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

The righteousness expressed here is not the doing and being good we normally associate with the word but the justifying righteousness of Christ alone.

We receive the from Christ through our faith, our believing in what we cannot see or fully understand; our simple belief.

To hunger and thirst after this gives us depth of our need for this righteousness and perception of how important it is to us.

God will fill us with this new righteousness in Him. The joy and peace that comes with it will stay with us as long as we choose to accept Him and stay with Him.
