John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal
and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the
full.
I will Give You Life to the Full
Any of you who know me, know that I love this verse and the promise of
life to the full. The reality of abundant life is ours through Jesus. In fact, this
verse says that Jesus came for this very reason.
It seems to me that for most of us each day our hearts and minds are occupied with what to think, what to feel,
and what will give us the most satisfaction. Advertisers, media personalities,
social influencers seem to tell us what we need or need to do to experience
full life. What I love about this verse is that by comparison Jesus promises to
simplify our choices and calm our restless hearts. Jesus came to Earth with a
single-minded purpose: to give us life to the full. To show us that this kind
of life was not only possible but in truth what God wants all of us to
experience.
In other words, maximum fulfillment comes in relationship with God,
and Jesus is the way to find abundant and full life.
REFLECT
Have you experienced harm from seeking
satisfaction outside of God?
What does it mean to you to have life to the
full? Ask God if your definition of fulfillment is the same as His.
