No Limit Living

My older grandkids prefer to get the "green stuff" (cash) even more than a gift card whenever a gift is due. They want to be able to spend it wherever they chooses rather than at a particular store. I'm sure we have all received a gift card or gift certificate for some place or service that we really would never choose. We would have preferred a gift that had no limits.

God has given a gift that is unlimited. In chapter one of Paul's letter to the Corinthians he indicates that believers do not lack any spiritual gift. I have found that God always provides the ability to accomplish anything He asks us to do. We have the unlimited resources of God at our disposal for living and serving. Paul also shared that we have unlimited strength. He says, "God will keep you strong to the end." Most of us can identify with having run out of steam especially during the busy season of the year from Thanksgiving to New Years. Spiritually there is no end to the strength available. Elsewhere Paul said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Finally, Paul tells us that we have unlimited access to a faithful God. In these days when it seems that everyone is busily going his own separate way and no one seems to have time for others, it is refreshing to be reminded that God is always available.

These gifts of no limit living are all made available to us through God's gift of Jesus. He came that we might be made the heirs of all God has, so that we could enjoy the strength of his power within, and so that we could have access to his grace at all times. It's like getting a blank check. With Christ there is no limit to real living.
