*GET DEEPER AND WIDER!*

Romans 5:10 MSG
"If when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we're at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life!"
God wants to give you a deeper and wider life! Sin makes us so narrow-minded and uninteresting! It makes us so much stuck about one and only a few things! Sin makes us blind. It blocks our view so that we do not consider the weightier matters of life and the vastness of the myriad of wonderful things that are in the world.
Sin for instance, makes us define ourselves more by our national boundaries or ethnic culture more than all that we can become when we are in the Son, who is not limited to any country or culture. There is freedom and liberty in Christ and the resurrected life offers us so much more than the life of sin does.
Are you bored with the way your life is going? Are you often feeling burnt out and tired? Is it sometimes hard for you to make proper sense of your life and this world, and does all that leave you frustrated from time to time? Jesus offers the solution! Life is meant to be lived in a much much wider and deeper way than you may already have known it. Open up to God!
Romans 5:1,2 MSG
By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us- set us right with Him, make us fit for Him- we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open His door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand- out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.
Life can get really exciting and interesting, more than you have ever tasted or seen. If it's not been given to you by Jesus yet, you are still missing out on something really bigger and wider and deeper. Throw your hands in the air today! Shout, "I need you Jesus!" Open up to Him. You'll find Him right there. Your next steps will be infused with a deeper realisation of His presence and a true freedom to live , caught in His grace, will be yours. Get deeper with God. He has life designed in a much much wider application for you- with your name customised to it! Yeah, He's that generous!
