Living or Existing?

Habakkuk 2:4 says, "The just shall live by faith."  Notice God's Word did not say, "The just shall get by and exist; barely making it from day to day."  God calls me to live! Live means to walk in freedom, faith, abundance and in all the fullness of Jesus.  God forgive us for not living in His fullness each day!

Life is so messy all around us and we can easily get overwhelmed and burdened down into a state of just hanging on by a thin thread or a broken fingernail. We need wisdom to minister and not retreat into hidden existence.  We need to live by His provisions for us clearly given to us in Ephesians 1.  This passage reminds us of why we should live life to the fullness of all Jesus created us to be.  Here God says that we are...
CALLED
BLESSED
CHOSEN
ADOPTED
LOVED
GIVEN GRACE FULLY
REDEEMED
FORGIVEN
LAVISHED BY LOVE
GIVEN HIS WILL
LIVE IN AND FOR HIS PRAISE AND GLORY
INCLUDED
MARKED
PROMISED
POSSESSED
POWERFUL
FILLED
Take hold of who you are in Christ girl and go LIVE!
