live abundantly

Jesus said that He came so that we could have life, and have

it more abundantly! It is God's desire that we enjoy each day

God has given. Our abundant life is found in a real relationship

with God and with others through Jesus Christ. (John 10:10; Jeremiah 29:11)

learn diligently

God has given us instructions on how to handle everything in

life from relationships to finances, raising a family to getting

a good job. The Bible says that people perish because we lack

God's knowledge, but we begin to experience abundant life

as we learn God's ways and walk in them. (Proverbs 3:1-2; 2

Peter 1:3; Hosea 4:6)

 laugh freely

A joyful heart is like good medicine! And as we learn

to live in God's ways we'll begin to find the freedom

to laugh and enjoy life. There is fullness of joy in God's

presence and that joy is our strength. It doesn't mean

life is always perfect, but it means we can go forward

with an attitude of peace knowing God is with us.

(Proverbs 17:22; Psalm 16:11; Nehemiah 8:10)

love completely

Love is an action verb. The fulfillment of Jesus' message to

us is love. By finding our best life in Jesus we also find the

freedom and confidence to serve and to share that love with

others. Jesus loved us to the point of giving His own life, and

we ought to lay down our lives in like manner - loving

completely. We love completely by doing good for others and

by telling them the good life we've found in God through Jesus.

(1 Peter 1:22; 1 Peter 4:8; 1 John 3:16)
