A lot of people erroneously believe that once you become a christian, it's all smooth-sailing afterwards. The sky is blue, the world is at peace and you got it all made.
But sometimes, that isn't always the case. Although God wants us to live happy, secure lives, the sun doesn't always shine as bright and as warm as we want it to be. Even in the most faithful christian life, a little rain will surely fall and what you thought was a steady boat will be attacked by torrent winds, rain and waves.
Living in the fullness of God's love isn't always peaceful. And it's not always easy. But there's one thing that I have noticed from my own personal difficulties. Living in the fullness of God's love means being at peace in your relationship with Him, whether in joy or in sadness, in victory or defeat, in abundance or want. Living in the fullness of His love means no matter at what point you are in life, if and when He calls you home, you are ready. Because after all, we are all meant to answer to a single call in this life, and that is God's call for us to believe in Jesus, accept His sacrifice for our sins, repent of our sins and turn our backs on sin.
Living in the fullness of God's love means coming home to Him every waking minute of our eartlhly lives until we find ourselves face to face with Him.
