Abundant Life...

Jesus states in the scripture that he came that you and I might have life and have it more abundantly. Have you ever seen in the scripture where Jesus states that he came that you might have life more poorly.

The evil that you see everyday is a lie. It is the work of the enemy of God. It is this darkness that creates the insecurity that can often shake the foundation of our faith. Though we can't see God, he is present. We must remember that God's ways are not our ways. Aren't you glad of this. God's thinking is realms above our understanding.

Though we can't see God, we hear his awesome voice in the midst of a storm, we see his handiwork day after day, the white pillars of clouds silhouette against the blue backdrop, we listen to his music he places in our souls which whispers keep going and do not give up.

You are to have life more abundant. Now, it is the interpretations that you create when it comes to having life more abundantly. If you interpret abundance as the acquisition of material things then you will probably be miserable eventually. You will continue to seek material things and not the spiritual.   It is the  spiritual that is the highest nature of the human being.  
 
Abundant life means a relationship with the creator God that is pure and not tainted by the illusions and traps of the needs of this physical world.  God shall supply all your needs.
Abundant life means that you seek God daily in prayer asking for his guidance and directions.
Abundant life means that you are not a lukewarm christian or a cold christian.  It means that your relationship with God is a top priority above all else. .. it comes to that.  

So, on that day...when the cruelty of humanity drove the spikes through Jesus's body did you feel it?  Did you weep?  He came that you might have an abundant life...now you must interpret what that means.  To cast lots for his garment is the material world...to look up at him and feel love towards him is spiritual.  If you are reading this now...know he loves you!
