In the hands of Abba

What's your life like?  An idle activity?  It's things that you do less the higher purpose. Just going along, floating along, working along, then doing it all again. It’s not necessarily useless, it’s just really boring. It’s when you reply to someone who happened to asked how you are, “same old, same ‘old….“

What is life? What should it look like?  In the hands of your Creator....

Like a little child holding God’s hand, you just know that He wouldn’t let you go; it’s like sitting on the top of the tallest mountain and seeing everything below but you’re really sitting on God’s shoulder looking down next to His ears, you just know that those things you thought were overwhelmingly big are dwarfed from where you now sit and He can hear even your heart’s tiniest whispers; it’s like God allowing you to walk on your own but being aware that He really is near, you just know that He is ready to catch you when you fall; it’s like walking without fear, you just know that God’s voice is enough to scare off anyone or anything that might harm you; it’s like God taking you in His arms like a little child and throwing you up in the air catching you and you scream in surprise and glee, you just know that He loves to hear your laugh and excitement. Then on that day when I finally see JC, I’d say, “what an adventure I had with You back there, that was awesome!” That’s LIFE!

'And because you are sons [daughters], God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son [Jesus Christ] into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"  Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son [daughter], and if a son [daughter], then an heir of God through Christ'Galatians 4:6-7 (NKJV)
'The thief [the devil] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I [Jesus Christ] have come that [you] may have life, and that [you] may have it more abundantly'.  John 10:10 (NKJV)
