Life Abundant?

Life Abundant?



What is life? Whether you are a believer or non believer life is still the same. Life is paying your bills, taking care of your spouse, raising your children, it's going through a misscarriage, it watching your father almost die in front of you, it's taxes, a boss to put up with, it's waiting results from health tests done on your child, decisions to make daily, Life is a series of emotions, a mountain before the valley. Christ came to give you life; life more abundant. If I could sum up the christian life experience into one word it wouldn't be joyful, nor victorious, not sad, or depressing even though I have felt all that at one moment in time no I would describe it as "interesting" never a dull moment in my walk with Christ. If you want a boring life then I highly recommend you don't ever accept Christ, but if you want an interesting life that when you sit back and reflect you are amazed what you have seen and done then come to Christ. When you heart is broken He promises to mend it. When you are going through a dry valley and never see an end He will lead you through. When you rejoice He rejoices with you. For every season in your life He will be there with you, and to be honest the greatest ride is when you allow Him to reign...or better yet lead the path for your life He will not disappoint, instead He'll give you the greatest ride ever. He gives you a heart for the brokenhearted, gives you a light for the ones in darkness, give you arms for the forgotton, give you love for humanity. So I have discovered that a spiritual journey is a a lot like a poem. You don't merely recite a poem or analyze it intellectually. You dance it, sing it, cry it, feel it on your skin and in your bones. You move with it and feel it's caress. It falls on you like a teardrop or wraps around you like a smile. It lives in the heart and body as well as the spirit and the head." So are you living life to the fullest...better yet is it the world's standards or God's?
