Lord Jesus come that we have life more abundantly.

 Amen. This is one of the most glorious and life-giving promises spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a declaration of His purpose—not just to save us from death, but to bring us into a full, rich, and meaningful life in Him.

The full verse is:

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

- John 10:10 (ESV)

What Is the Abundant Life?

The "abundant life" (or "life to the full") that Jesus offers is not primarily about material wealth, perfect circumstances, or the absence of problems. It is a profound quality of life that is:

· Rooted in Relationship: It is knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life itself (John 17:3).

· Characterized by Peace and Joy: It is a deep-seated joy and a peace that surpasses understanding, even in trials (John 16:33, Philippians 4:7).

· Marked by Purpose: It is being filled with the Holy Spirit and bearing fruit for God's kingdom (John 15:5, Galatians 5:22-23).

· Eternal in Scope: It is a life that begins now and extends into eternity, unbroken by physical death.

This abundance is the direct opposite of the thief's (Satan's) plan, which is theft, destruction, and death.

A Prayer to Receive the Abundant Life

Lord Jesus,

Thank You for this incredible promise. You did not come just to give me a ticket to heaven, but to give me a rich, satisfying, and purposeful life here and now.

I receive the abundant life You offer. Forgive me for settling for less—for a life of routine, worry, or sin, when You have called me to so much more.

· Fill me with Your Spirit so that I may experience the fullness of Your joy, love, and peace.

· Align my desires with Yours so that I may find my deepest satisfaction in You alone.

· Guide me into the purpose You have for me, that my life would bear eternal fruit.

· Help me to live abundantly in every season, trusting that Your life in me is greater than any circumstance.

Thank you for coming to give me life. I receive it now.

In Your mighty name, Amen.

A Poem: "I Came for Your Abundance"

"I Came for Your Abundance"

The thief of souls, his work is dread,

To fill your heart with fear and dread.

To steal your joy,to kill your hope,

And on life's bitterness,have you grope.

But I have come, the thief to bind,

And give you peace of heart and mind.

I do not offer just a sigh,

But life that never,ever dies.

I came that you may have My life,

Abundant,free from inner strife.

A life not measured by a score,

But deeper,richer, evermore.

It is the life of knowing Me,

Of from your sin,being free.

It is the life of fruit and power,

In every moment,every hour.

So leave behind the empty way,

The hollowed-out and tired day.

And step into the life I give,

The reason that I died to live.

I came for you, to make you whole,

To resurrect your heart and soul.

So take this life,this gift so free,

And live it all abundantly.

May you step fully into the abundant life Jesus purchased for you with His blood. It is your inheritance as a child of God. Receive it, walk in it, and let it overflow to everyone around you.
