Pastor John,
For days I have heard this: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
It really stirred my heart each time I heard it. Tuesday I was sitting in the car thinking about it, and all of a sudden, I had the most wonderful thoughts come.
Even words have life since Jesus touched me. I am gonna list a few just to give an example:
Cup
Flowing
River
Water
Empire
Living
Gold
King
Door
Table
Heart
Connection
Iron
Now that is just a few every day words. Every one of those words has life in them now. They are part of our life in Jesus. They are alive and have a new meaning. Not to mention words like, Prince, peace, Master, Lord, Father, love, and I could go on and on.
It was so good to feel this. I picked up a few new CDs last night after the meeting and randomly put one in today. Guess which one it was? “Life more abundantly!” Gary even sang a song about it!
Jesus really does give life, and so much more abundantly. I could never have imagined a life like this. I have never felt so alive! I mean even words are alive!
