“……live life to the full.”

“…..live life to the full.”

On the page where vitamins and nutrients are advertised in the pharmacy mailer I am reading, “Being fit, healthy and active through each lifestage is everyone’s goal.”

 Is that also your goal?

 “Ask your pharmacist to help you live life to the full.” That is another sentence in the mailer and I am reminded of a verse in the Bible.

In John 10:10 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “…….; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (NIV)

I like the New Living Translation, “MY PURPOSE IS TO GIVE THEM A RICH AND SATISFYING LIFE.”  (John 10:10 )

Now, that is a promise of the Living God!

The Lord promises me a rich life. The Lord promises me a satisfying life.

For almost 53  years I can say what David says in Psalm 23:

“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me…”

Yes, it is amazing how the Lord leads:

He led me today to the Kaitaia Gospel Hall to meet the guestspeaker Max Vivian and his wife Ngaire. They worked for many years amongst the Aborigines of Australia as missionaries.

Max had a suitcase full of things from his time in Australia. I liked the boomerang best. And what a blessing it was to hear him expound the Word of the Living God!!

I did not know that they were there, but the Lord knew and the  Lord knew also that I always wanted to meet workers from that part of the vineyard.
