Life

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. Jesus, John 10:10


In all your doing, don't forget to live. We can get lost in our daily activities, or in our own minds, and in the “worries and cares of this world and the pursuit of riches.” In that lostness we are out of touch with the wonder of being alive. Jesus offered life to living people. You can do all things through Christ, Who has promised and offers life! You can even experience more of the most valuable thing you possess: LIFE. How alive are you? How alive do you want to be?
Be that alive!
Use your marvelous, God-given mind to be open to the beauty that God has placed in this world. Try [peacefully] not to miss any of it. Falling leaves [try to catch a few of them!], phases of the moon, children, pets, birds, the goodness of food, sunshine filtering through those amazing trees. Especially try [peacefully] not to miss any opportunities to love the people in your life. Love them with your joy. Help them to be more alive also. [But don't lose your joy in the process.]

Stay awake! Don't get lost in the world of “worries and cares”. Stay free in the liberty that Jesus has purchased for you at such a great price. Receive the gift, over and over again, of “abundant life.”
