Living the Good Life!

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows). John 10:10 The Amplified Bible

Living the good life means different things to different people. “The good life” first MUST include God as the center of your heart! It then deals with the simple pleasures that make you joyful, the compassionate deeds you perform, the personal goals you strive to achieve, the relationships you nurture and the legacy you leave behind. “The good life” is also about appreciating all your time, not just your leisure time. Many times we get caught up in our daily affairs. Taking the kids to school, going to work, cooking, cleaning, church activity and the list could continue. We then grow completely numb to the little moments, the simple building blocks of time that make life really worth it. I'm learning each day that with God, I can have my little moments. I can make memorable times. Because ultimately living the good life is living the life that God has planned for us. We all have a call or purpose here on earth. Some may preach, dance, sing, usher, encourage, loan money,give a ride...whatever it is you have a purpose. It is not until we have become sure of our vocation that we can truly live the good~life and enjoy the abundance!

I would like to share with you some of my "Good~Life" TIPS:

-Meditate on God's Word and Promises everyday
-Slow down so that you can appreciate the simple things in life
-Concentrate on your passions
-Take a nap
-Help someone in need
-Keep your promises
-Don't diet, eat healthier
-Rest

If you have a personal relationship with Jesus, The Blessing of Abraham is on you and will cause you to have great favor, promotions, restoration in your relationships, supernatural increase, divine health, and overflowing joy. When that Blessing is working in your life, you will live in complete wholeness with nothing missing and nothing broken.

We can then use the overflow to be a blessing in someone else's life! Now that's good! Tell me what you think...
