It had an ostentatious beginning in the late 1800s as a thriving center along a new railroad line. Within a few years, though, most of the shops had closed and the town's population shriveled to about 400. In 2000, the population was still just over 500. One online description of Texline says that it has "a city limits sign at one end, another at the other end, and not much in between." What a waste if the same description could be given of our spiritual journey! The journey of the Christian life on earth begins at the moment of faith in Jesus and ends when the believer goes to be with the Lord. This raises an important question: What happens in between? A rich and full life is available to all who believe in and serve Jesus. The apostle Paul prayed that believers would "be filled with all the fullness of God" (Eph. 3:19). He wanted them to know life "abundantly" (John 10:10). But how many of us experience even a small part of the abundant life Christ promised to those who are faithful to Him? God desires to give us a marvelous beginning with salvation and a great ending in Glory-with much in between. - David C. Egner <http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our-daily-bread/David-C-Egner.aspx> Lord, thank You for all that You have done for me. I commit myself to making the most of my spiritual journey. I want to experience as much as I can of You and all You have to offer to me. Amen. A life given fully to God becomes a God-filled life.
