The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the
full, till it overflows). John 10:10 AMPC
I’ve always
loved the window sitting on a flight. A window seat offers great views; it
affords one the unique opportunity to be inspired by the things you see from
such a high altitude: the icy expanse of the Arctic, the glistening peaks of
the Alps, the Andes, the clouds, etc.
Every so often,
as I look out and savour the beauty and wonder of God’s creation, I say,
“Blessed Father, you’re amazing! There’s so much beauty!” Thus, before arriving
at my destination, I enjoy the journey. Life is that way too; a journey to be
enjoyed. Between now and when the Master comes back, there’s a lot to enjoy;
therefore, no one should live a frustrated life.
If you’d learn
to pay attention to all the beautiful things and people around you, to enjoy
them,you’d live happy every day. It’s a wise choice when you make up your mind
to enjoy your life and yourself even in simple things. Some don’t even enjoy
their meals; they always rush it angrily.
Others wake up
angry; even while driving or commuting to their place of work, business or
school, they’re angry, unhappy and frustrated. They ignore all the love and
beauty around them. Read our theme verse again: Jesus came that we may have and
also enjoy life!
Enjoying your
life isn’t only about going for a game show, or watching a comedy, or engaging
in some adventure. Rather, it means enjoying every moment of life’s journey;
enjoying everything you do, as long as it’s consistent with a godly life,
because you’re a child of God and you know God is fulfilling His dream through
you.
God has given
you a life of joy, but you have the responsibility to express it. Let the joy
of the Lord be evident in your life with such radiance that fully expresses the
peace of God in you. Make a conscious choice to enjoy the moments of your life.
CONFESSION
The Lord has
given me all things richly to enjoy. He’s brought me into a life of rest, full
of joy and glory. Nothing is too good for me. I’m full of joy today, living the
great life of righteousness, health, wealth, prosperity and success that I have
in Christ. Glory to God!
