And if you know Christ as your Lord AND Savior; … and you, fellow Christian, have taken in the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures above, I’m praying that you join me with a resounding “PRAISE GOD,” … knowing that our Lord fills our cup of life to overflowing and provides us with what we need to live the life He promises, … especially in the the abundant life He promises in the highlight verse of John 10:10b.


Oh how I pray we are feeling that fullness today.  But, … if not, I pray we open ourselves to seek His will and follow His ways thru His word.  Because if we do, our cup will be overflowing with fruitfulness - … HIS PROMISE, not mine !!!                   


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for filing me up again today with the fullness of Your promises thru Your word.        

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to open ourselves fully, Lord, to the fullness of Your promises found in Your word.        … Amen
