Do you abound?  It means “to thrive” or “to flourish.” So…do you?  As Christians, the Bible says we should abound…with love, with blessings, in hope, in the work of the Lord, in everything…but, as Paul says, “…the greatest of these is love.”

 

Philippians 1:9-11

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

 

“One day we’ll live in a sinless and pure world—the new heaven and new earth where righteousness will dwell. But until then, we’re stationed by God on a corrupt planet where we are light in the darkness. But even here we can abound. Our attitude today should say: ‘I am abounding!'” ~ David Jeremiah

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
