“I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
Abundance refers to rich and satisfying, having all that you need and not lacking in anything. This is the life that Jesus wants for his children and promised when he came to give his life for us. God has a good and perfect plan for us. The devil also has his own plan and his work is to rob us of what God has in store for us. He comes to kill, steal and destroy. But Christ came that we may have a good life where we lack nothing.
When we live a life that is completely surrendered to God, he orders our steps and He delights in our ways (Psalm 37:23). The Lord will also make perfect everything that concerns us (Psalm 138:8). Our desires for good things, signals the plans of God for us and yes God wants us to have good things. He wants us to live a good and satisfying life. A life where we feel complete and fulfilled. It is when we sit between two positions where we sometimes struggle.
When we stay connected to God, he renews our strength and daily loads us with blessings. Goodness and mercy follows us everyday of our lives. Everything we need is in Christ Jesus and he supplies all of our needs according to his riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Living for God is not mundane and full of boredom and hardship. In fact it is the only way to have a full and complete life. If you want to have a satisfying life, submit to God who has all that we need and he will make our joy complete.

Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
