Many people live in freedom, but when it comes to their own lives they sound and act a lot more like the begging Oliver Twist than anyone I know - "Please, sir, I want some more." Life is for living and there's no one who wants you to enjoy all the freedom in life more than God. True freedom is why He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for us. The point of Jesus' resurrection is so that we can live without fear or oppression. The ridiculous thing about it all is that many of us still feel an element of guilt when it comes to asking God for more out of life than what we are currently experiencing? As a result, if we muster up enough courage to even ask, it comes out in a prayer that is lame (at best) and filled with more confusion than faith and belief. No wonder most of us don't experience all that God intends for our lives!
Jesus said , "I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance to the full, till it overflows."[John 10 vs 10-Amplified Version] Now remember; Jesus said it - not me! Jesus' whole purpose was for us to have and enjoy life, in fact, more life 'til it overflows! A life that overflows is a big life. It's a life that splashes on to others. Want more out of life in 2012? Why not ask God for more life - with a belief, faith and an understanding that God wanted it for you right from the beginning! Happy New Year and may 2012 biggest year filled with more than you know what to do with!
