"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
-John 10:10
i gain an understanding and appreciation of this verse today as i attended the church services. It has been a long while since i could attend svcs on a SUNDAY cos my work schedule is such that i work on sundays. SUNDAYS have always been my church days mah....
so i was very HAPPY to be able to go church today!!!!
i MISS church on SUNdays so much.......and meeting Joyce to go svc together! I so missed u too! Going church with you, and being stupid together, praying for each other and experiencing our awesome God and being touched by Abba Father together! i missed ur company, dear pal! dont miss me out k! I may be out of your sight for a while, but dont put me out of mind k!!!!
so today, i went for a grand total of 3 services. The adult and youth svcs at my church and an evening combined svc at my sis's church @ New Creation. I am really thankful for today...so i am very kiasu so i go for as many svc i can in a day. i guess distance makes the heart grow fonder.
oh....about why i said the above verse speaks to me is bcos, if u analyse the statement, u would see that it provides the reader with the specifics that it leaves none of its reader any discretion on their part to guess. It is pretty obvious to the reader that the "abundant life" mentioned by no means refers to a mediocre life! It is life to the FULL.
not half emtpy, nor half full.
the glass is FULL.
so what does it mean to have a FULL life?
in my understanding, it is to living life to the maximum. it is a life with great meaning and purpose. A life of goodness, greatness, impact, influence, blessings. A life that meets every deepest needs. A life truly satisfied in itself.
Essentially, its a life of NO lack.
Its FULL.
I want this kind of life!
Dont you?
