Life in the Full. Here. Now.

   This is the very day God acted—
      let's celebrate and be festive!
   Salvation now, God. 

Salvation now!
      Oh yes,  

God—a free and full life! 

From Psalm 118 The Message

Today I'm in awe of God Who is abundantly generous in His Salvation giving!

Yes, He gave His son so that we could have eternal life, 

BUT

He also brings Salvation into every part of our lives; 

past, present, future. 

"Jesus came that we would have life and have it in the FULL."

John 10:10b

Salvation HERE.

Bad transfigures into good, 

Grief transfigures into grace,

God wastes nothing-

"Makes everything work out according to His plan."
