What are the most important things needed to live a good life?
If you ask me what it means to lead a good life, I won’t point you to riches, recognition, or even a life free from pain. I’ve learned through joy and heartbreak, through silence and worship, that the best life is one surrendered to the Holy Spirit.
To live well is to walk with God daily, intentionally, even when I don’t understand everything. It’s in the quiet whisper of His presence where I find my strength, my direction, and my peace. A good life is a life of obedience, not perfection, but surrender.
It means choosing love when it’s easier to turn away. It means forgiving when my heart still hurts. It means showing up, even when I feel unseen. I’ve walked through fire, but I’ve also felt the rain of His mercy. And through it all, I’ve discovered that the safest, richest, most fulfilling place to be is in the center of God’s will.
I don’t live to please people anymore, I live to please the One who called me by name. My identity is in Christ, and that’s where my boldness comes from. That’s where I find the courage to keep going. To lead a good life is to keep saying “yes” to Him, even when the road is narrow, even when the cost is high, because I know the reward is eternal.
So if you’re wondering how to live a good life, start there. In His presence. In His Word. And let the Holy Spirit lead you every step of the way.
