Size Does Matter! Mentoring Moments, the 1-min blog

Posted June 26, 2013

You named her Zoe? Zoe! Do you know what that means? “ I was wondering what the very excited nurse meant. “Yes.” I said, “It means life.” “Oh no my dear,” She said in her very thick, Greek accent, “It means Big LIFE, life from God Himself, like a glass of wine, overflowing.” I said, “It’s from the Bible…” The nurse has stopped listening to me. She was holding my brand new daughter, looking down at her in amazement.

As a believer, I knew what Jesus said in John 10:10, I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
But as a Greek, she knew what Jesus meant! He didn’t leave Heaven, live a perfect life, take on the sins of the world, retain His joy through the cross and resurrect from the dead so we could simply stay alive. God desires for His children to have the life of our dreams. Actually, He desires for us to have the life of His dreams. Now that’s big!
