The abundant life may not have money to give, and yet it may fill a whole community with blessings through its gifts. It may go out with its sympathy, its words of comfort, its inspirations of cheer and hope, and may make countless hearts braver and stronger. Let the well of love in your heart spring up and pour out rivers. That is what it means to have life abundantly. One writes of another:
I never crossed your threshold with a grief
But that I went away without it; never came
Heart-hungry but you fed me, eased the blame,
And gave the sorrow solace and relief.
I never left you but I took away
The love that drew me to your side again
Through that wide door that never could remain
Quite closed between for a little day.”
