Living in dependence on
Me is the way to enjoy abundant life. You are learning to appreciate tough
times, because they amplify your awareness of My Presence. Tasks that you
used to dread are becoming rich opportunities to enjoy My closeness. When you
feel tired, you remember that I am your Strength; you take pleasure in leaning
on Me. I am pleased by your tendency to turn to Me more and more
frequently, especially when you are alone.
When you are with other people, you often lose sight of My Presence. Your fear of displeasing people puts you in bondage to them, and they become your primary focus. When you realize this has happened, whisper My Name; this tiny act of trust brings Me to the forefront of your consciousness, where I belong. As you bask in the blessing of My nearness, My life can flow through you to others. This is abundant life!
The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the Lord will be exalted and safe. Proverbs 29:25
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. John 10:10
