We can do many things that may appear to bring us happiness. However, apart from God life is futile, meaningless (Eccl 1:1). When your heart is broken you may seek to bring yourself happiness. What we are seeking is really wholeness.
“…Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all (wholeness).” Eccl 12:13b
In order to have wholeness, we must fear God. So how do you fear God (revere Him)? Love him with all your heart, honour Him and put Him first in your life. When you put him first He will provide completeness and wholeness.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Mathew 6:33
“Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
We pray “… that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.” Col 4:12
