A for ABUNDANCE
This is what each one desires, to own things, yes, but more still: to possess in abundance.
We think immediately of money, material goods of all kinds.
But one imagines also: excellent health, much power, influence over many people.
To enjoy all that one can obtain and… without measure!
A little does not satisfy. Much? This is not enough yet!
One day, Jesus said clearly why he had come to live our planet Earth and share our existence.
He has declared:
“I have come that they (the sheep) may have life and have it to the full (in abundance) (John 10:10)”.
The sheep – one must read: human beings – we are the sheep!
And the abundance that he desires for us goes far beyond what we can imagine:
“Life to the full”, in abundance”.
At the beginning of this period of Lent, let our imagination – and our desire – be stretched…
And let our heart open itself to the abundance that God offers us!…
