The Abundant Life

Praise the Lord, Chosen Women!

   February already? Unbelievable! Time is certainly not waiting upon us; we better be busy living our best lives NOW! I've heard Oprah use that phrase so often . . . "live your best life." What does that really mean? I'm not so sure exactly what it means to Oprah. To me it means the life promised to me and all of us that believe on the name of Jesus Christ -- the Abundant Life! (John 10:10) Abundant Life means life 'to the full; in abundance -- til it overflows!'

   Some people try to put yokes of bondage back upon the children of God when by definition we should be the freest people on the earth. We have been loosed from the yoke of bondage! I am starting to understand why people try to bind us again. Truth is they are bound and cannot stand the liberty within us. Think about it; liars hate the presence of real, truthful sisters! Fake folks hate the girl whose found comfort in her own skin through Jesus Christ. The fake sister is too busy trying to hide and afraid she'll be seen! Fake means a sweet smile on your lips -- your words are smooth as butter -- but war and hatred are in your heart.

   I am also truly realizing that it is a waste of precious time to be upset with them. It is better to just love them in spite of themselves. That gives us more time to continue living in abundance without risk of wasting time on bitterness and anger. And loving the unlovable adds to your own character. It's easy to love the sweet sister -- but what about the one who's a mess? That's hard! Do it anyway. You might mess around and love that evil nature right out of her!

Now listen, while you're on the site go to the 'Events' page for an exciting announcement about Chosen Women 2011! Have a wonderful week in Him, and remember you are hand-made by the Master Craftsman!

In Service for the Master,
