Week 40 - The Journey
"When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home." John 19:26-27
God is love! John, the beloved apostle, had a special place in Jesus's heart. He had reserved this place for him so he could convey the message from another vantage point. John had been a disciple for a long time and he was always by Jesus's side.
He experienced the love of God first hand and found himself in amazing places. And here he was again at the foot of the cross listening to Jesus's last words. How do you convey love? How do you convey truth? It first must be experienced and then it can be conveyed. John recognized this in his life.
John lived out the rest of his life conveying the message of love, a love that he experienced. Look around you, we have but two choices life or death. John chose life, he chose joy for that is what God gave him and that is what he received. We have the same invitation in our own lives. I choose life for I Am loved by Him just as John is loved by Him.
What is God saying to me? All is well.
Dear Lord God, words can not convey the feelings but that is all I got other than shared experiences. I thank You with my bread of life, my offering is what I give back. It is You that fills my soul, it is You I desire to please, it is You that I give away. Prayers for space to be created within the darkness so light can penetrate the soul to bring joy and peace to it. Thank You Father for touching the light. In Jesus name, Amen.
