Its time you started really living.
No more depressed living, no more addicted living, no more giving up on life living.
No more putting yourself down, no more feeling sorry for yourself living, no more defeated living.
No more living in a rut, no more dead end life, no more empty living.
Its time you started really living!
God has planned on you having life and having it more abundantly.

Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:7-10 NKJV

Life was not meant to be just a to-do-list.
God just didn't show up in your life no matter how bad it is going right now. He has been there all along. Like Jacob in the Old TEstament he woke up and realized that God was there all along. (Genesis 28:16)
God never intended on you just going through the motions and feeling like you don’t matter. God planned on you having life!
You may be reading this today and auguring with me in your mind.
You may say this is a different day, and the experts tell us that this is the way life is now.
You may have resigned yourself to the fact that you will always be like you are.
We live in an age where stress is common.
Broken homes are a given.
Busted marriages are the norm and broken hearts are the usual.
We now believe that life is just a burden and the actions of our everyday are just the way we were born. We allow our times to dictate our future because we simply believe this is just the way it is to be. Addictions, dead end living and too many nights crying in our hands are just life you keep telling yourself. Depressed feelings, being emotionally unstable and lost dreams are just part of your lot in life. Our parent’s dealt with it and we inherited such feelings and actions and there is no way out. This is how we are supposed to be.
My family didn’t give me the break I needed, or my parents handed me this life.
This world will set your direction for you. It will tell you why you are like you are. Experts will give you plenty of excuses and we will tell anyone who will listen why we have such a plight.

Before you believe that read this verse of scripture.

Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie — the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" "Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me." Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. John 5:2-9 NIV

How long will you keep laying in your excuse?
How long will you hang on to the crutch this world gave you?
How long will you tell your defeated story?

Jesus never planned on you living with such baggage. God never planned on you walking through this life hopeless and hanging on to a defeated life.
I wonder if you have the courage today to fold up the past, the brokenness and wasted years and walk into newness of life.
Can you get up, fold up your excuses and walk into God’s abundant living, into God abundant grace?
You can turn your life around.
I doesn’t matter what the experts say, Jesus came that you might have life and have it more abundantly.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly

It doesn’t have to keep going like it’s been going. Your life can be reversed.
There is Abundant Living!

Stop right now and simply ask Jesus to help you from where you are living and into the abundant living He planned for you.
