-Strength for Today- “Get the Most Out of Your Life!” - Philippians 2:5.

All people have one thing in common, and that is “an awaken sense of valued worth.” Because most people “are on a quest” to find “a godly glow of satisfaction in their lives.” However, “the secret of finding that glow” rest upon “the assurance” found only in knowing “Jesus Christ as one’s personal Saviour.”  

 Most people's “lives are passionately striving for satisfaction,” and yet few really find it.” The things of this world, “can’t bring wholistic satisfaction.” Because in this world:  

• There’re very wealthy and powerful people who’re grossly unsatisfied, and some “who’re satisfied,” 
• Then again, there're “very poor people who’re satisfied,” because where they’re stationed isn’t filled with the presence of worldly goods, but is “saturated with the unconditional love of God.”  

So, it's “possible to find the joy of a satisfied life,” even “in the midst of turmoil and struggles,” when “one’s attitude is prioritize like that of Jesus Christ,” To this the Apostle Paul said: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,” (Philippians 2:5), because “when there’s an attitude of praise in the forefront,” you can “look for the good in life and put it into practice!” Because “the joy of a satisfied life only comes through this process!” 

So, to get the most out of your life, you must stay “Christly focused,” even “when facing tough circumstances in life.” Because, “when you experience the glory of God,” and acknowledge “that Jesus walks with you always,” even “through ups and downs,” only then “is there’s absolute joy found in your soul!” Why? “For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again” - 2 Cor 5:14-15 

  Through Jesus Christ “we have the fullness of our purpose,” when that satisfactory purpose, “outweighs all other competing emotions,” and “overflows in love to others.” So, to get the most out of your life, it can only be done “by discovering your purpose on earth as God intended,” and “live in the light of fulfilling the special plans He has for you.” Because all that we live for “is guaranteed and satisfied through our Lord Jesus Christ.
