"I will say to my soul,

'Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years.

Relax, eat, drink, be merry."

--Luke 12:19

"I will say to my soul,

'Soul, your abundance is in Jesus.

All the peace, security, contentment and joy you need

flows from Him.

Not only did He come to give of His abundance

freely--

He is the abundant One!

The abundant life

is a Person!

Oh my soul

rest in Him

draw from Him

He is your 

unstoppable

 Abundance!'"

It has been a number of weeks 

since I have written a prayer from Rachel Hackenberg's "prayer prompt"

as summer and cottage life has interrupted rhythms of life. 

 But this one jumped out at me and was written effortlessly 

It is what the Abundant One has been speaking to my soul about--

His abundance.

And what He has made me aware of again--

that I so rarely live out of His abundance.

Sigh.

How delightful it has been for Him

 to have awakened within me

the beauty and constancy and strength

of His abundance.

I so long to live here.
