A Rich and Satisfying Life~

One of you precious children of God asked me what a DEVO is, so here is a refresher. It's a short, one-page writing on the Christian faith and life.


What is the purpose behind all these DEVOs? It is not just about getting to heaven. It's about having a relationship with Him. Heaven is our ultimate destination, and I have said it before that one day we will all be there so completely happy that it will blow our minds. But in the meantime, we are not just supposed to tolerate living or get by with drudgery. NO! We are to live with faith, hope, peace, and joy because Jesus wants us to.

John 10:10
The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

His purpose is to give us a rich and satisfying life. The thief', also known as the devil, steals, kills, and tries to destroy everything Jesus wants us to have. It really is the battle of the ages.

And yet, by prayer and faith and a relationship with Him, His purpose, and His purpose alone prevails.

Do you feel as though you have been robbed of joy? Peace? Love? Hope? Health? A sound mind? A good relationship? Has there been destruction in any area of your life that you would like to see rebuilt? What bout in the life of someone you love?

This is serious business, folks, and someone is counting on your prayers today.

Let us go to the One Who in His unparalleled generosity, desires to makes things right.

PRAYER:

Dear Lord,

We love that Your purpose is for us to have a rich and satisfying life, but there are days when we just aren't living it. We have trouble, pressures, worries, and anxiety. So today we invite You to fulfill Your purpose for us and restore to us a rich and satisfying life. It is impossible to have a rich and satisfying life unless You are in it, so fill us with Your presence today. We open up our hearts to Your goodness. We also pray for those we love. Do Your thing, because nothing else will do. Some people's hearts are closed to You, but Amen and Glory, You specialize in melting that hardness away. In Jesus' name, AMEN~
