The Perfect Day

One thing I know, 

and this morning I know anew, 

 is that the things that rob us most 

are those things that are NOT life-- 

things like fear, doubt, weariness, 
pride, unbelief

and all their friends. 

His word says that He came 
that we might have life 

and have it abundantly.
John 10:10 

The word for abundantly is the Greek word 

meaning "violently excessive." 

So, why don't I feel like I have

violently excessive life right now? 

Because I have refused to reject 
the feelings that come against His life. 

Every day I get to choose. 

Which voice will I give my affection? 

Today, I refuse to be content 

with what is not life. 

Jesus, Your life is excessive, 

and You make us to ever increasingly 
reflect Your image. 

You made us to live in 
the very center of Your heart,

in the very center of Your life. 

The life that You have must become 

the life that is in me. 

Jesus, I fix my eyes on You 

and ask again that You would 

live Your life through me. 

The PERFECT day. 

Really.
