Am I Living Full?

Someone asked me today what it meant to live a full life. Is it living a life full of hype & excitement? Is it living a life full of daring stunts & extreme activities? Is it living a life full of deep thinking & philosophizing? Is it living a life where you become extremely successful in your field of study? What is it to have & live a full life? My response was simple - A full life is a life full of Jesus.

John 10:10b - "...I have come that they may have life, & have it to the full."

We could go through life and do all of those things listed & still not be satisfied. Jesus is the only one that will fill that void. He satisfies our hunger even better than a Snickers. A "full" life isn't about accomplishments & accolades its about surrender. Life can't be full without Jesus directing it.

"Brothers & sisters, if Christ is not life, we have to do the work; but if he is life, then we do not need to struggle." 

"Repeatedly we say that life is Christ himself, & work can never substitute life." - Watchman Nee

To live a full life I must live a life that truly meets with God daily, that holds absolutely nothing back, and that enjoys the moments I have. When people look at my life they should see a full one - they should want what I have. Like a gatorade commercial Christ must seep from my life & others must see him.

living,
