“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10 (NIV) The thief represents anything that drains you: fear, doubt, unhealthy habits, toxic relationships, negative thoughts, spiritual dryness. These things slowly rob your peace, your joy, your confidence, and sometimes even your sense of purpose. But Jesus makes a bold declaration: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Not barely surviving. Not constantly struggling. Not living in anxiety. But living abundantly — spiritually, emotionally, and even physically aligned with God’s design. Abundant life doesn’t mean a life without challenges. It means a life filled with: Peace in the middle of chaos Hope when things look uncertain Strength when you feel weak Purpose that outweighs your pain Abundant life is not about possessions — it’s about possession by peace. It’s not about perfection — it’s about connection. Every day we choose which voice we will follow: The one that steals… or the One who gives life. Today, choose life. Choose fullness. Choose the Shepherd over the thief.
