abundant life!

Do you make life worthwhile?

Life is filled with ups and downs, choices of true bliss or total disaster... or so it may feel. We feel at times that if we make one wrong choice disaster is waiting around the corner to strike us down where we stand! At times it does feel as if we make a wrong choice that everything will fall apart, everything will crumble and we will be left to try and put the pieces back together again. I have to say that I am sure that we have made some choices that have felt very "life or death".... OK, not that bad, but very important choices that if it was the wrong move we felt that we would be punished or that we would have disaster on our hands. Well, I think that maybe at times we should have been more patient or maybe at times we should have waited a bit more on God for a clear answer, but I do feel that we are where God wants us at this time in life. A lot of things are going on, but I feel that we are making some right moves. Did any of the other choices that we made bring us disaster? No, we are still alive and kicking, God has more grace for us than we give Him credit for at times. He will always love us and always take us back! We serve a good God. When thinking about all this, this morning a verse came to my head: John 10:10 "A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came to give life—life that is full and good."  
God is the one who wants us to have a good and full life! He came to this earth to die for our sins, so that we may have a full life! One that is GOOD! He wants good for us! How awesome a God we serve that He cares for us, and wants a good and FULL life for us! Do we mess up at times? YES! But there is grace provided by God! and He will get us back on track so He can give us a good and full life! I pray that I make all the right choices, and that I never mess up, but I know that isn't going to happen. I am human and it is human nature to mess up. It is how we learn from our mistakes and get back up and keep trying not to make the same mistake again! We have the grace of God, but remember it isn't an excuse to keep doing wrong or to keep doing the same sin over and over again! We always have to be trying to do good and following God and what His word says! God knows and sees the heart. I really feel that we take life so serious at times and sometimes miss out on the little things that God wants us to see or experience because of our business, or our eyes are just not open to see what He wants us to! Sometimes we just get busy with things, and we forget to open our Spiritual eyes to what God wants us to see! At times it is the little things that God wants to speak through. I think at times we are too caught up with trying to make our own lives abundant, and God is the one who wants to do that! I think we miss that He has already richly blessed us and that we need to rely on Him and His wisdom and not on our own wisdom and our own strength! He wants to be our all, we just need to let Him take that first place over everything else in life!!! Will you let Him give you an abundant life today? Will you open your eyes today to see that you are already richly blessed?
