Ah, Lord God you came to love, heal, and forgive, and I praise your Holy name for coming!
Jesus came to bring us the abundant life. In John 10:10 ( ESV) Jesus said "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
I have read this verse repeatedly and wondered what this abundant life was. I certainly wanted it, but since I did not understand specifically what the abundant life consisted of and how I would be able to get it, I continued to be puzzled by this verse.
And then it came to me in the middle of the night. The abundant life is the Word-filled, Spirit-filled, and Prayer-filled life, and through Christ, my Savior and Lord, it can be mine. I deeply desired this abundant life, and God gave me this desire, so I knew in my inner being that I could have it.
God speaks to me in the middle of the night because it is then that He can get my attention. Maybe God can use me to help other believers get this abundant life, I certainly pray that He will do so. The article links below are very helpful in understanding what this abundant life is. And when you seek it with all your heart, mind and soul, it can be yours.
