thoughts on abundant life

Some thoughts on abundant life…things I have been hearing from the Lord...I hope it inspires you

The question is…Am I Worthy, are any of us worthy, of an Abundant Life?

I don’t know your situation. I don’t know where you have been or what you have done, but God knows and it doesn’t change your worth to him. He loves you and He thinks that you are worthy of an abundant, full, wonderful life. How do I know?
He created you…He formed you, He made you. Creation takes thought and action. To create something there must be an idea of what to create and then actions to make the creation. It does not happen by accident. There was a moment in time where the God of the universe thought about you, came up with the idea to make you and then made you. His hands formed you. He made you unique in all the world. You were not an accident, not a surprise, not by happenstance…He purposefully, willfully, created YOU.
Now think about something that you have created…think about pouring your heart and soul into the finished product. You couldn’t put a price on something so special, so unique, that you made with your own hands. Now think about that creation, by some crazy, random, twist of events, it ends up on a store shelf for sale. Anyone could come in and take it and they would not understand its great value. That is what happened with you and me. Our crazy twist of events was sin. We were born sinners and our souls did not belong to God. But He created us…He loved us, His precious creation…so He bought us. He paid a great price. He sent His son to die on the cross to buy us back…He knew our value and that we were worth the life He could give. So, I know that He wants us to live an abundant, full life. He created us and the He bought us…for His purpose.
Now, I am not telling you that it will be easy. I am not saying there will not be trouble…because there will be. But the beautiful truth is that through all the trials, all the struggles, the disappointment and the pain…we will know we belong to the creator and He wants great things for us…so we can trust though even the darkest of moments…He created us, He bought us, He Loves us. He desires for us to have a full life, with Him. You can have that…believe it!
