Good morning, my friend. 

You can have a full calendar and still feel like you’re running on empty. Being busy doesn’t always mean you’re living abundantly. 

Jesus says in 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.” 

There is something trying to steal your joy, drain your peace, and convince you that just getting through the day is all you can hope for. 

But Jesus came to give you life! 

Now, abundant life doesn’t mean every bill disappears, every relationship gets easy, or every prayer gets answered the way you wanted. It means that even in the middle of a difficult day, you have a Shepherd who loves you and walks with you. 

You can have tears in your eyes and hope in your heart. You can face uncertainty and still have peace because you know who holds your future. 

Think about sitting down with somebody you love. The problems may still be there, but their presence reminds you that you don’t have to face them alone. That’s a little picture of what walking with Jesus means. 

Today, before you reach for your phone, reach for your Bible. Ask, “Lord, help me recognize the life You’ve given me and live it well today.” 

Don’t let worry steal the moments God has placed in your hands. 

Walk with Jesus. Love somebody. Give thanks. 

And, my friend, Press On!
