Jesus gave us everlasting life through His sacrifice on the cross. With His sacrifice, we are now joint heirs to the Father with Him! We have the privilege of being able to experience life at a whole 'nother level!
Never once do you see Jesus depressed. Not one time is He described as downtrodden. There is no scripture where Jesus is sullen and withdrawn.
Yes, He had moments of sadness. He felt grief, anger, and even stress. But Jesus did not let those moments overtake His life. He did not allow His human emotions to fully encompass His spiritual nature. He stayed full of the fruit of the spirit.
We too, can experience a life like this. We don't have to wake up depressed. We don't have to remain full of anger. We don't have to be downtrodden or distressed.
We have abundant life in the Lord!
Jesus has blessed us with the gift of abundant life. Make sure you're taking full advantage of your gift. If you're having trouble, remember His great sacrifice and the promise you have in Him. Read His Word and remind yourself of His great love. You don't have to just live... you can live in abundance!
Verse of the Day: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10b
