Mourning the Pain is a place to put your feet up. A place where you can see God at work and find a journey to abundant living.
This place is for people looking to live life to its fullest. I am a glass half-full kind of girl. My glass has been knocked over, filled and emptied to be refilled again. I am constantly searching for ways to continue this journey of living the most abundant life that I can.
Abundant life is not prosperity gospel and getting everything we ask of God. It is finding the true peace, patience, joy, hope, love, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control (Fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5). We will face trials and tribulations in this world, but we have to know that promise that God has overcome this world.
This place is safe. I will share ideas and thoughts that I feel God is placing before me. They will challenge, encourage and push us.
In John 10, Jesus gives us instructions a journey for abundant life.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” NIV John 10:10
This is Jesus promise as He was telling the Pharisees who He was. In the earlier part of this verse, Jesus says the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. Now I could stop there and dwell. So many days I have done just that. But God! He sent Jesus to give me life.
Journey with me. Meet me here. Let us find what a FULL life here and now can look like.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
Prayer…
Father God,
Open our eyes to a life you are calling us to live. A life where we see things as grace and a gift. Let us live the life you have given us here on this earth to its fullest. Teach us to love like you do. To see others with your eyes, and to take notice of the small things. Let us live abundantly in your path with our arms wide open. Amen.
