Near Life Experience

Posted bytoddagordonPosted inThe Pursuit

We read a lot about people having near-death experiences.  While that’s fascinating and can be life changing you don’t have to have that to begin to get the most out of life. 

How about you start thinking in terms of having near-life experiences today.  Don’t just exist today.  Don’t be content with just reacting to what happens to you today. 

Live life fully.
Live life intentionally.
Live life on purpose. 
Live life for a purpose.

Have yourself some near-life experiences.

I’m cheering for you.

Questions to Ponder and Pursue

1. How can you shift your mindset from simply reacting to life’s events to actively living with intention and purpose every day?

2. What small steps can you take today to ensure you’re fully engaged in creating “near-life experiences” rather than merely going through the motions?

Living In The Fullness of Christ

John 10:10 (NIV) – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

As followers of Christ, we are invited to not just live an average, day to day, non descript life, but life in its fullness. 

John 10:10 tells us that while the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came so we could have life—abundant, overflowing, and full of purpose. This is more than just avoiding spiritual death; it’s about truly living.

We often think that we need a major event to shake us awake, but what if we embraced “near-life experiences” every day? 

What if we intentionally lived, not just reacting to what happens, but seeking out the fullness of life that Christ offers?

God is calling you to live on purpose, to pursue a life that overflows with His love, peace, and joy. 

Don’t just exist—experience the richness of life that Jesus died to give you.  Step into His abundance today, and have your own “near-life experience” in Him!

Be Blessed!
