John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Thought for the Day: Behavior Follows Intent


Reflection for the Day: The Intent Of Either Never Changes

As Jesus taught, he presented the intent of both the enemy and himself. Understanding the intent helps us to understand the behavior that follows. This allows us to respond properly to both. We soon learn that the intent of either the Lord or the enemy never changes.

Adam and Eve were the first to learn the intent of the enemy. We have the benefit of their mistake to understand what is intended; to kill, to steal, and to destroy. Jesus is also consistent in his dealings with us; he has come that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Before responding, remind yourself of the intent of both and then act accordingly.
