My journey to the abundant life is currently 73 years in the making.
I could never have imaged where I could be today based on my early years. That is the blessing of time directed by God. Where I once craved what the world promised, now I crave the promise of a loving God. When once I sought to optimize my search results on my business website, I now work to optimize my search for wisdom. And where LinkedIn was my business resumé, it is now directed to The Abundant Life.
Today I Will
Not Worry
Today I will not worry in the sense that Christ intended. I will do what I can and must do, and God will do what He can and will do out of His nature of love.
Be Not Frightened
Life is a Funhouse of sorts with these real differences: we will experience hurt, the terrors will be real and we may become so overwhelmed with the ride that we lose faith that the journey can end in light and not darkness, in peace and not fear, in hope and not despair.
Follow Christ’s Example
Today I will follow Christ’s example of servanthood and enter the lives of those I am called to serve, seeing life (with all its frailties, contradictions, faults, weaknesses, and injustices) from their perspective, not mine. Christ was not an aloof advisor but an “I am in this with you, brother” friend and savior.
