AN ABUNDANCE OF LIFE=AND LOVE

 

AN ABUNDANCE OF LIFE=AND LOVE

 

Today Jesus tells us-

He is our gatekeeper=

He tells us-

IF we follow him=

We will

Have an ABUNDANCE OF LIFE

 

Finding an ABUNDANCE OF LIFE

AND LOVE

By following Jesus

 

“I came=so they

Might have LIFE

And have it=MORE ABUNDANTLY”                                                                                  John 10:10

 

But WHAT does Jesus mean

By having

AN ABUNDANCE OF LIFE?

 

I don’t think he is

Talking about money=in the bank

Or having=lots of “STUFF”

 

I think he is

Talking about a rich LOVING LIFE

With God our Father

Like he himself had

 

I think he was

Talking about=having people

To LOVE and care for

And for people

WHO CARE and love for you

 

Maybe meaningful work and service

In this world

That has God himself in it

 

AN ABUNDANCE OF LIFE=

AND LOVE

In our lives

 

“The he said to then=

‘Watch out!

Be on guard

Against all kinds of greed=

 

Life does not consist-

In an ABUNDANCE of possessions’”                                                                                     Luke 12:15

 

“Mercy-peace-and love

Be yours=IN ABUNDANCE”                                                                                                    Jude:2

 

Our abundance includes

A STRONG FAITH

In Jesus=and God-our Holy Father

 

It includes a PEACE from God

During the hard=and tragic times

In our life

 

It includes a strong sense=

Of being loved and forgiven

BY OUR MERCIFUL GOD

 

AN ABUNDANCE OF LIFE=

AND LOVE

 

“No one can redeem

The LIFE of another

Or give to God

A ransom for them--------”                                                                                                            Psalm 49:7

 

“Then Jesus said to his disciples’

‘Therefore I tell you----do not worry

What you will eat=or about

What you will wear

 

FOR LIFE=is more than food

And the body=more than clothes’”                                                                           Luke 12:22-23

 

Jesus came to INVITE US

To an ABUNDANCE OF LIFE

AND LOVE=we just have to

Say YES=and ACCEPT IT

 

Lord=we open up ourselves

TO YOUR ABUNDANT LIFE

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ABUNDANTLY GOOD=Holy Father God!
