Take the lid off
'I CAME THAT THEY MAY HAVE AND ENJOY LIFE, AND HAVE IT IN ABUNDANCE (TO THE FULL, TILL IT OVERFLOWS).' JOHN 10:10
You've been the gift of life, not just a half pint life that's dull and boring; but life in all it's fullness. Check this out: '"I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)"'. So many people live with the lid on their life. All the creativity and adventure are stored away and never used. Why? Because they're scared that if they take the lid off they might lose what they've got. Here's the killer question: who created the boundary of your comfort zone? A hundred to one says it wasn't God!
Most boundaries come about because we're scared of what other people might think. One of the saddest things to say about somebody is, 'They had such potential'. But nothing about potential is definite. You could live your whole life full of potential but never do anything with it. Don't be that person today. God has filled you with His life and with that He's given you His Holy Spirit, who helps you to get on and do the things He challenges you about. You belong to God and He's poured Himself into you, but not so you can hold onto it for yourself, it's so that you can share His life with others. So lift the lid today and live life to the max!
