An abundant life: We can do nothing except as we receive life and wisdom from You dear Lord!

 

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.

 ⏤  John 10:10

The greatest thing anyone can do for God or man is pray. 

⏤ S.D. Gordon

We need to remember that we can do nothing except as we receive life and wisdom from You dear Lord! We can have an abundant life in Christ, when we follow Jesus! We are called to follow, imitate, reflect, forgive, and love like Jesus! When we do, we are promised life eternal in Heaven with Jesus! What a blessing! Life is always a lot easier when we put our trust in Him, He will be with us at every step! Yes, may the fruits of righteousness be evident in our lives. May the fruits of the Spirit abound in us. May we be to the world like rich trees, planted and nourished by You, from whose branches there shall fall much fruit to feed the hunger of others! This is what matters! Being upright and holy, reflecting Jesus! 

The Mornings with God App today said, "O Jesus, our Savior, You alone can give us life. You came into this world that we might have life, abundant life. Fill us with life as we begin this new day. We will need it at every step. We will have . . .

Burdens to carry,

Battles to fight,

Trials to endure,

Duties to perform.

Give us life, abundant life, to prepare us for all these experiences, that we do not fail today. We must represent You in the world. You have said that as the Father sent You into the world, so You have sent us. We can do nothing except as we receive life and wisdom from You. We wait at Your feet this morning, praying that You put rich grace into our souls. May we be like trees planted by the rivers of water, bearing fruit in their season. May the fruits of righteousness be evident in our lives. May the fruits of the Spirit abound in us. May we be to the world like rich trees, planted and nourished by You, from whose branches there shall fall much fruit to feed the hunger of others. We cannot know what the day will bring. We do not ask to know. We would rather walk in the dark with You than go alone, choosing our own way. We would rather walk with You by faith than go alone by sight. So, we put ourselves into Your hand for guidance and safekeeping. You will make no mistake in leading us. No path into which You take us can be the wrong path. Lead us, O Jesus, for You know the way through this bewildering world. You have walked these paths Yourself, O Jesus, and You found the way home. Lead us home, too, dear Master, to be with You forever. We ask in Your name. Amen." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/61/morning

The path of Jesus is the only right one for us to take. If we want to get into Heaven and have peace while we go about on this Earth School journey, we need to follow Jesus! He is the only way! Guide us, lead us, instruct us, bring us where we need to be to do your will be done! He can lead us home to our real home in Heaven with Him! We can have an abundant life with Jesus!
