A Fuller Life
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10 (NIV)
Have you ever made a list of all the “good” or “positive” things that happen to you in a 24 hour period? A week? A year? I did this and the number blew my mind. Now I catch myself listing them in my head mostly in the morning and sometimes just randomly throughout the day. I feel like this started when I made time to listen to God and let him lead me in the big and small parts of my life. I learned to recognize God’s small and huge hints that he offers.
There is no doubt in my mind that I am living a “fuller life” now. Having Jesus in my heart and letting him lead, guide, and redirect me has made all the difference. Things are far from perfect everyday, but I love my life and the people in it.
The faith and hope that I now have, has shaped the way that I look at my life daily and gets me excited about where I will spend eternity. If you aren’t making time for yourself to “be still” and listen, I promise you, you are missing out on the biggest blessings and a “fuller life.”
“Be still, and know that I am God!” Psalm 46:10 (NLT)
“So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.” John 10:7 (ESV)
