Back! Instant Message #5 Re: God wants you to live abundantly!

ok! I got it to work again! Yeah! So very sorry about that.

I have come that they may have life, and that they may it more abundantly. - John 10-10

The 10th chapter of John tells us that Chris came to earth so that our lives might be filled with abundance. But what, exactly, did Jesus mean when He promsed "lifs...more abundantly"? Was He reffering to material possessions or financial wealth? Hardly. Jesus offers a different kind of abundance: a spiritual richness that extends beyond time and space. This everlasting abundance is available to all who seek it and claim it.

 God offers us abundance and joy, but He does not force these things upon us. He promises that we "might have life" and that we "might have it more abundantly" if we accept His grace, His blessings, and His Son.

When we entrust our hearts and our days to the One who created us, we experience abundance through the grace and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. But, when we turn our thoughts and direct our energies away from God's aommandments, we squander the spirtitual abundance that might otherwise be ours.

Do you sincerely seek the riches that our Savior offers to those who give themselves to Him? Then follow Him completely and without reseration. When you do, you wil receive the love, the joy, and the abundanc that He has promised.

Instant Tip:

God gives us opportunities fo a Reason: To use them. God wants you to make the most out of all the opportunities He sends your way. Billy Graham observd, "Life is a glorious opportunity." That's sound advice, so keep looking for your opportinities until you find them, and when you find them, take advantage of them sooner rather than later.

My Prayer to God:

Lord, as I take the next steps on my life's journey, let me take them with you. Whatever this day may bring, i thank You for the opportunity to live abundantly. Let me lean upon You, Father - and trust you - this day and forever. Amen.

I knew God wanted us to live abundantly, but I never really thought about what it meant.
