"Abundant Life" 



Abundant does not necessarily mean...

Riches, Lavishness, or Always Being In Great Health.

It doesn't mean you will live without having troubles

or sorrows bearing down on you at times.  It doesn't

mean you will not experience difficulties or harm.

It doesn't mean you are immune to weakness that

will try to lead you into temptation.



It means living in a continual state of being dependent on God.

That's where True Abundance comes from.

That's where our Strength comes from.

That's where our Joy comes from.



Abundant is not necessarily monetary or tangible "things."

It is GOD.  God IS our "Abundant Life" and we will have it 

forever because He has Promised He will never leave us or

forsake us.  He knows our needs before they ever come to be.

All we have to do is Ask, Seek and Knock.



God created us for His Glory.  Our Purpose is to Glorify God.

Why would He create us to not take care of us?  But we must

lean on Him and be Obedient to His Guidance.  There is a

magnificant Treasure, waiting to be found, for each one of us

through listening to God.  That is our "Abundant Life."



God takes Great delight in us.  He rejoices over us with singing.

He gives us Joy that no one or nothing can take away.  He gives

us a secure future in Eternity with Him.  He clothes us in His

garments of Salvation.  He will not allow us to be tempted beyond

what we are able to bear.  He gives His angels charge over us, to

preserve us in all our ways.  He has made Plans for each of us.

Now THAT my friends.....is "Abundant Life."



Until the next time we talk.......Stand firm on Philippians 4:13.

Love, Hugs, & Prayers,
