“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

John 10:10 NKJV

I heard something in this scripture that I had not heard before. Thief or Life

Being a vessel of Life is more favorable to any person or vision than a vessel of death.

 Life flowing from a vessel causes things to live flourish, produce and reproduce. A lively vessel adds on, causing life to grow and create. It leads to legends or legendary events and stories beyond life itself and produces generations of good wealth in deeds and good works. 

A heart of a person who gives life has captured goodness and love within themselves and understand gratitude, grace, and mercy. They learned that forgiveness is a powerful gift to give others who have wronged them, their loved ones, and their culture. The life givers understand that peace is a powerful blessing to experience and hold in their hearts so that Jesus can live through them; and people would want more of Jesus, so they experience the life more abundantly in Him.

A thief comes to kill dreams, steal visions and destroy families and relationships. A thief has nothing good to share, only plans to divide and conquer. A thief loses sleep planning for their day at the office or school or anywhere they are invited and some places, they invite themselves. Their looks can be appealing but their actions are devastating. A thief is distraction form in things you may think is harmless. A thief mind is full of corruption, disrespect, slander and lies. Their endorsement to spread whatever hateful words and thought in their heart and it is an abundance! They do not forgive and will never offer it. Their have no encouragement, just want to have its own way.

Never expect a thief to show compassion, especially when it is not going their own way. More time seems to be stolen when you are in a relationship with a thief because of, they live a life of no condition. No love, no peace, no respect, and no light because a thief will come with more tornadoes and storms and dark clouds. 

Again, the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank you for your unfailing love. Thank you for your son, Jesus who came to earth to teach us the right way of living. John 10:10 tells us about a thief also about life. Since we have come into the knowledge of the two characters, help us to choose life and have life in abundance! Thank you Father for your grace and mercy that gives us a chance to review ourselves and make the decision to live in your love and live where others can see your faithfulness and draw closer to you. And for those who have recognized they have been living in the character of the thief and desire to change, teach them your righteous ways, and help their hearts to receive your reconciliation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
