Are you living an abundant, joy-filled life? 

There are several reasons you might be missing out on living abundantly.

-LOW EXPECTATIONS / Raise your expectations by spending time in your Bible and reading the many promises that God has for us. Every time that you feel downhearted or lack luster in your faith, find a promise in the Bible and write it down. Place those promises in every aspect of your life so you see them daily. Make sure you are hanging out with people who are a positive influence on you.

-EARTHLY ATTACHMENTS (Possessions) / We never get to enjoy what God truly has in store for our lives. And sadly, the stuff we worry about doesn’t really belong to us anyway. You can’t take it with you when you die. 

-PLAIN DISBELIEF / Don’t let your disbelief and disobedience rob you of a life better than any you’ve ever imagined. The Bible is the living word of God! It is the map book and guide for us to live by so you don't make a wrong turn and get lost. 

-SIMPLE LAZINESS / Abundant living requires work! There are things to learn, things to run from, and things to embrace. Abundant living comes through obedience and consistent living.
