At least

      Some of us are the type that is ok with just getting by. In school you may have been satisfied with just making C’s instead of striving for A’s, with the mindset of “as long as I’m passing”. It may have followed you through to your adult life. In your job you may be ok with just working at the hourly level instead of pursuing a salary position, with the mindset of “at least I have a job”. 

This also carries over into how you feel about God. We go to church, maybe throw in a bible study to spice things up but never really pursue an intimate relationship with God, with the mindset of” at least I went”.

One thing is true, can’t deny that a (C) is passing, that having an hourly position allots for a paycheck, and that going to church gives us an idea of who Christ is. But with that being said, is that all that there is? NO, God wants more for you. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

God wants for us to have an abundant life. But don’t read that and automatically think you’re supposed to have the newest Mercedes on the lot. Just walk with me for a moment, and I’ll explain. In the book of Genesis the Word said this: Genesis 2:7And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Now from this point we can establish that God is the source of which we are able to even be alive. He is our breath (our very life source). So when we go back and read John 10:10, we can see that God gave us a portion of Him (through Jesus, being God in the flesh) to be spared from death (which is our salvation)”hints Life”. But if we fervently pursue after Him we can have more of Him in abundance, (This being His Holy Spirit)'hints abundant Life" Which was sent to abide in us and we in Him.

Grab and Go: I pray that today’s Word wasn't confusing, and I’ll attempt to simplify it hear. Understand that having or receiving more of Him is the real abundance, or the real increase. Having a life that is centered around Christ will cause you to be in a position where all things work for your good (Romans 8:28) and so you can receive in this day and time those things in which your heart desires.(Mark 10:30)
