"My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" -- Psalm 23:5-6 / NKJV
The Word of God is clear: Christ came in order that we might have life abundant and life eternal. Eternal life is a priceless possession of all who invite Christ into their hearts, but God's abundance is optional. He does not force it upon us.
When we entrust our hearts and our days to the One who created us, we experience abundance through the grace and sacrifice of His Son. But, when we turn our thoughts and direct our energies away from God's commandments, we inevitably forfeit the spiritual abundance that might otherwise be ours.
Do you sincerely seek the riches that our Savior offers to those who give themselves to Him? Then follow Him completely and obey Him without reservation. When you do, you will receive the love and the abundance that He has promised. Seek first the salvation that is available through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and then claim the joy, the peace, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepherd offers His sheep.

Lord, thank You for the abundant life that is ours through Christ Jesus. Guide us according to Your will, and help us to be a worthy servant in all that we say and do. Give us courage, to claim the rewards You have promised, and when we do, let the glory be Yours
