Abundance

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

— John 10:10

God of abundance,

I sometimes live in a mindset of lack, of scarcity, as if there were never enough. This fear of lack makes me hold on, hoard, close off.

Open my eyes to the abundance that already surrounds me. Abundance is not only material; it is also abundance of love, beauty, opportunities, grace.

May I live in the confidence that there is enough for all, that generosity breeds generosity, that the more I give, the more I receive. Abundance is a mindset as much as a reality.

Amen.

Reflection

Where do you see abundance in your life? Make a list of what is already abundant for you.

For those who live in real scarcity and that all may discover abundance.
