Welcome to The Abundant Life

Naming, Claiming, and Proclaiming

the Abundant Life

Who am I? Good question. Who am I, really?
A very good question, a soul-searching question.

I am in search of The Abundant Life.
Why  choose the abundant life? What is it? And where may it be found?

Join me in my journey to The Abundant Life.

Why desire it?    What is it?   Where is it?

Thought For an abundant day

Faith Vs. Positive Thinking

Learn from Abraham. It’s important to understand who Abraham believed in. He didn’t believe in himself. He didn’t believe in his feelings. He didn’t put his faith in faith, either. Romans 4:17 says Abraham believed in God.

The object of his faith was God—nothing else.

You may believe in positive thinking, but positive thinking and faith are not the same. Positive thinking only works when you have control over the situation. It’s worthless if the situation is out of your control. When you’re at a dead end, you need something more than a happy thought.

You need to place your faith in God because “what is impossible with man is possible with God” (Luke 18:27 NIV).

I conclude each reflection with a mention of God’s altar because it is at God’s altar where blessings are bestowed, gratitude is offered, and wholeness is made. And God’s altar may be found anywhere and everywhere, and especially in my heart.

Not Insult God For His Confidence In Me

Today I will not disparage or insult God by thinking less of God by thinking less of myself. God’s graces can surmount all of my weaknesses, my fears, my self-doubts. 1 Corinthians 15:10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and...
