Filling Up Your Cup

So I don't mean for my blog to just be preaching about life- but I just want to share with everyone what i'm doing right now. And for now, learning is all we're doing so thats what I want to share! This past week we talked about the character of God. Now, the bible always says be christlike and imitate his character, etc. But how do we do that? As you humans we try to do that ourselves and it really doesn't work. It all comes down to who we actually are on the inside and not the outside. On the outside we go to church, do good things, etc. But is that what actually sustains you in life? Humans have 4 basic needs: acceptance, comfort, security, and the need to feel important. Now, we can fill all our needs ourselves with things of this world such as relationships, friends, money, jobs, education, etc. But these are only temporary fixes. I know i definitely found myself always wanting more but nothing in my life was filling me all the way up. The reason for that is because God is the only thing that will actually fill us up! Only HE can make us feel 100% accepted, only HE can comfort us, only HE can provide us complete security, and only HE can provide us with a sense of importance- in His eyes we are so important! We are His children and beloved creation. 
He loves us so much and designed all in such amazing ways. He made it so that nothing in this world would satisfy us- thats is his giant hint to us that He is the way, the truth, and the light. He put things like friends and family in our lives to help us and support us through this life- but they are not there to provide every need in life for us. Humans can only do so much so we can't be 100% dependent on each other, but be dependent on God alone and he will satisfy every longing or emptiness in us. An its when we truly fill our hearts with God that we can be godlike and transform our lives and other lives. His love will shine into us and from us to others. So fill up your cup not with things of this world, but of God!
