John 10:10
John 10:10
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.
We all want to live abundant lives, but how can we do that? To answer it, we must begin with the more important question: What, or who is the source of abundant life? Jesus tells us in this verse, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” Chasing anything other than Jesus will steal your blessings, kill your dreams, and destroy your purpose in life. Only Jesus can restore the blessings that have been stolen, bring life to dreams that have died, and give our lives purpose. Things come and go, as do the pleasures they bring. The only way to experience everlasting joy is to have something that cannot fail. So, the only way to live an abundant life is through Jesus, who never fails. A life apart from Jesus will always leave you lacking, but a life centered on Jesus is full of abundance. Don't let evil steal your heart. Give your whole heart to the Lord, and He will give you a rich and satisfying life.
Deuteronomy 28:2
And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
1 Corinthians 3:6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Psalm 68:19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
Ephesians 3:20
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.
