Are You Living Your Best Life?
Are You Living Your Best Life?
ByThere are times during our walk with Christ that we feel like were just barely getting by. Between trying to meet deadlines and fulfilling those much needed tasks, we feel the life and energy being sucked out of us.
We loose our Joy. We loose our motivation and passion for life. Those things that once made us happy can easily become a thing of the past.
Most of those things that seem to get the best out of you are battles you face in your mind. You see, God wants you to live a life full of zest, zeal, and passion. He doesn’t want to see you struggle. He doesn’t want you to just barely get by. No, He wants you to live an abundant life.
He wants you to go about your day with enthusiasm for that which is ahead of you. You have to make a decision that no matter what is ahead of you, deadlines or tasks, that you will put your best foot forward. Decide that you will exercise Joy and Happiness just as God declares for you.
Well you may say, “I have so much coming at me I just don’t have the energy and stamina like I used to.” No, I encourage you to combat that thought. Know today that Jesus is your help. The scripture says “when we are weak that’s when He is strong.” Know that Jesus’ power is made perfect unto you. God has the power to make all things strong!
Make a decision today to take back your life. Take back your Joy, passion, and motivation. Dare to dream! Dare to live a little. Give yourself a break and take a trip up to the mountains. Go on a Joy ride! Plan a mini vacation. Jesus says that I’ve come that you might have Life and have it more abundantly. Live the life that God has for you today as you charge forth on your journey of life!

Jarrod: I really liked the title of this post. It is such an important reality check … Are you living your best life? It kind of makes you stop and really understand if you are making the best decisions you can and really taking advantage of everything that life has to offer. I think this is a question we should ask ourselves over and over again as a reminder to always live in the best ways.
“Decide that you will exercise Joy and Happiness just as God declares for you”. Indeed! God wants us to live in joy! Choices have been given to us, one of these choices allow us to live our lives as God declares for us. Great articles, Jarrod!
