The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count — A Lifestyle

The abundant life—a life overflowing with purpose, joy, and peace. But here’s the key: this abundant life isn’t a one-time event or a technique you pull out when you need a boost. It’s a lifestyle.

This isn’t just surviving; it’s thriving in God’s design for you. But abundant life doesn’t just happen. It’s a daily choice to align with God’s heart and purposes. (John 15:5)

Start your Day — Psalm 16:11

The thief wants you focused on what you don’t have, but an abundant life focuses on what God has given. Gratitude shifts your perspective from scarcity to abundance. (Thessalonians 5:18)

Keep a gratitude journal. Each night, write down three things you’re thankful for. (Philippians 4:8)

Abundant life isn’t about hoarding blessings; it’s about sharing them. Look for one way to give daily—your time, encouragement, or resources. Maybe it’s a kind word to a coworker or volunteering in your community. (2 Corinthians 9:8

Some treat John 10:10 like a vending machine—claim the verse, expect instant blessings. But abundance isn’t a technique; it’s a lifestyle of surrender. Jesus didn’t promise a life free of trials. The abundant life is found in His presence, not in perfect circumstances. (John 5:33)
