Living life to the full is to enjoy life fully, to gain all that we can from the life we live. But what do we do when it’s a struggle to live life to the full? The reality is that life isn’t always what it seems, and unfortunately, life doesn’t always feel full of sunshine. Sometimes life feels full of storms. Life can be difficult, and that’s no surprise to us, but what do we do when life doesn’t seem to be all that full? We live life with others! The author of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, tells us that God makes all of creation, including Adam. But God then creates Eve, showing us that God didn’t create us to be alone but wants us to be in a relationship with each other. When we live in community, we can unite with one another during difficult times, and together, we can support each other in living life to the full. But God didn’t create us to only live in community with others; we’re also supposed to go through life connecting with God. In difficult times, looking to God for guidance, comfort, and care can help us continue to see how we can have a full life in good times and in tough times. Living life to the full can be done in good and bad times when we live life in community with others and go through life connecting with God. A full life isn’t perfect, but it’s full of things like joy, peace, and love no matter what we face. Today, think about the people who point you to full life even when times are tough. Take a moment to thank God for those people and God’s consistent presence in your life.
