Life----
Life was meant to be lived. Jesus said, John 10:10
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
I fear that we have reached a point in our society and churches that life is no longer celebrated or lived out abundantly. Too many times I hear people speak of church life as a dread or punishment. Statements like, “I have to go to church Sunday.” “I wish I didn’t have that church event, and I would, etc.” These kind of statements should send a signal to our spirit that something is out of alignment. The Christian life was never meant to be lived in the doldrums of despair, but rather in the abundance of God’s abiding presence. God is a moving, living, exciting God. The greatest life is the life lived in fulfillment of God promises and provisions. We must never get to the place that the things in our world detract from the life God has planned for us to live.
Life is a gift. To live in the presence and will of God is the greatest gift of all.
I challenge every believer to live in God’s abundance and blessing. To count each moment as a gift from above. To embrace each day with a new found purpose and joy. To truly began to live life abundantly according to God’s plan. Laugh, Cry, Run, Dance, Smile, and whatch abundant life find you.
