Fully Alive!

There are many scriptures in the bible that talk about living, but this morning I read this verse, and in the light of living fully alive in Jesus, it really was a light bulb moment. It reads: "This is how God showed His love among us. He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him." (i John 4:9, NIV) Wow. Think about the it, "that we might live through Him." Not haphazardly, not "okay, I'm saved, now what?" But living fully, this life, now, through Jesus Christ. In Him there is nothing we can't do. Whether it be losing weight, being free of emotional or mental baggage that we've carried for YEARS, or being free of an addiction (whether that be food, drugs, alcohol, self-centeredness, insecurities). You and I can be, in every sense of the word, FREE of all that in Jesus to live the live He created us to live, be the person He created you and me to be, fully ALIVE! Woo Hoo!! Thank you JESUS!!! Something to surely ponder and receive into our hearts as truth!
