Alive

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive,and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

(Howard Thurman)

After you have read this week's devotion I invite you to go outside for a moment. Regardless of the weather - just step outside and let your senses take in all that life is doing.

Listen...
Touch...
Inhale...
See...

Taste...

You are alive - do you have any idea how amazing that is? 

Feel the wind and sun on your face. Let rain drops caress you. Smell a flower, feel grass under your feet. Listen to bird-song, wind chimes, dogs barking... just be out in life for a moment.

Just one life - that's all we get and today is it.

What a wonder - to be alive and to know it. 

I wish for you today - that you experience life fully, richly, powerfully, passionately; for as you experience life so will it flow out of you to kindle the flame in others.

Go on now - go outside for a moment, and let the breeze of life stir the embers of your heart, that they may burst into flame.

You are alive and you are truly amazing.

 I leave the last word to Jesus:

"I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly." 

(John 10.10)
