Learning to Absolutely Love Your Life
Adapted from Quiet Times with God
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
Did you know that God wants you to enjoy your life? Well, He does! In fact, part of God’s will is for you to enjoy every moment of it. This is something God’s Word tells us in many places.
King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, said this: There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and assure himself that there is good in his labor. Even this, I have seen, is from the hand of God (Ecclesiastes 2:24 AMPC).
Solomon said to make sure we enjoy the good of our labor. That sounds like it is something we must do as an act of our will. This does not mean that all of life becomes a huge party or a vacation, but it does mean that through the power of God we can learn to enjoy the wonderful life Jesus came to give us.
Prayer of the Day: Father God, thank You for the life You’ve given me. Help me choose joy, appreciate the good in each day, and enjoy the abundant life Jesus came to give, amen.
