LIFE

Birth : death
Living : dying

We are all born, and we will all die, but how we live is up to us! Are we alive or are we living?

Because we take breaths and get up each day does not mean we are living!

True Living consists not in the abundance of things we possess, but in the abundant life Jesus Christ paid for on the cross!

Luke 12:15 (KJV)
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

True Living in not what you are or who you know in this world, but who you know in your heart!

John 10:10 (KJV)
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John 10:10 (MSG)
A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

Jesus promised that He would give us abundant life. Abundance means:
: existing or occurring in large amounts
: marked by great plenty

Abundance is having more than you need. God wants to give you more than you need in every area of life.

Are you Living in the abundant “Peace that Passes all understanding”? Peace that the world system cannot give! This is the way God wants you to live!

There are people who are born and die 60 or 70 or more years later but they have never lived because they have never met the giver of life!

We are Spirit, Soul and Body. The body is the house, the spirit is our mind, will and emotions and our Soul is what comes alive when we are born again by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ.

When our Soul is alive with the Power of the Love of Jesus, our mind, will and emotions begin to line up with God’s Word as we give Him control of each of these areas!

Real Living only begins at the New Birth: Being born again by the Spirit of God!

Otherwise there are times you may feel happy and on top of the world but not the deep-seated Joy and Peace that Jesus gives. Without the spirit alive in you the circumstances and situations of life control whether you are up or down, but Jesus gives us real Peace and Joy because it is not dependent on what is going on around us.

We each have a purpose of eternal value and since life is short and eternity is long we need to be lining up with our destiny by real Living!

When we focus on real Living, God will add everything else we need in our lives!

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

When we are finished our short time on earth we can die with fear and confusion like we lived, or we can die with the Peace of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that He is with us through the transition to eternity.

Living or Dying our Trust and Hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ and the Creator God who Loves us unconditionally!

I ask you: Is it birth and death for you or Living and Dying with purpose, faith and peace?

God Loves you and desires Abundant life for you! It is your choice!

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Father, thank you for abundant life! Thank you that you want us to have an amazing life and I trust your plans and Love for me! Touch each person who reads this with a desire for Real Living and I decree and declare that each of them is fulfilling their purpose in this world. In Jesus name I pray! Amen

God Bless each of you as you choose Abundant Living!
Love, MeMaw
