The Wall Street Journal asked half a dozen celebrities to answer a fundamental life question: What is fulfillment?
The first celebrity said he feels most fulfilled “when there are no restrictions on my ideas or inspirations.” The second observed “sometimes we do things that we’re dreading doing, and they turn out to be—pardon the expression —fulfilling.” A third said, “You want to live up to expectation. Fulfillment, for me, is feeling that I’ve accomplished that.” Another said, “I’m most fulfilled whenever I’m able to have space to think and don’t feel rushed to make my work.” Yet another said, “The tricky thing about fulfillment is that it’s difficult to recognize in your life.”
So, how would you answer the fundamental life question: What is fulfillment? I sincerely hope that you would quote our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In John 10:10 He said: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
Only Jesus offers life fulfillment here and now—and for all eternity. May you and I experience that fulfillment and share the life of Jesus with still others. After all, that’s what it means to reach your world.
