First and foremost, my relationship with Jesus makes me feel totally alive. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10, NIV). That has definitely been my experience.
Everything else in my life that makes me feel alive flows from my relationship with Jesus. Meaning, all the other stuff that makes me feel alive would not be enough on their own. It is only in connection with my relationship with Jesus that those other factors matter. It is what gives everything else meaning.
Secondly, living out my God-given purpose also makes me feel totally alive. Knowing that I exist to turn the world upside down by meeting people’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs and then doing my best to fulfill that is what brings aliveness to my life. My purpose guides my life. It helps me to know what I am supposed to do every day I am here on this earth. It helps me to be a meaningful specific instead of a wandering generality.
My God-given life purpose gives me direction so I do not have to waste time wondering about what I’m supposed to do or what direction I’m supposed to go. This is already predetermined. One of the most freeing aspects of my life is that I know specifically why I am here on this earth.
Thirdly, climbing toward my God-given potential makes me feel totally alive. It’s exhilarating knowing there are no limits to what God can do in my life if I am just willing to follow his lead. If I just open myself up to allow God to do with me whatever he wants to do.
Philippians 1:6 says, “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (NIV). God will continue to work with you to reach your fullest potential. Are you willing to work with him?
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (NIV). We have no idea what our true potential may be. It is more than all we could ask or imagine! That has got to make you feel alive!!
