John 3:19-21 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.
How true this has been in my life, please don's shine a light on me, then everyone could see how truly evil I am.
That is how I felt for a long time. I could just hide in the shadows with other people who are scared of the light. What a warped way of thinking, there is forgiveness and healing in the light. I want God's light to shine on me and through me. I want other people to know of the freedom that there is in Christ. It doesn't matter where you have been or what you have done you can come to Christ. He loves you and will meet you were you are. Life in the light is so much better, not easier but better. Now when the storms of life come instead of getting beat up by the storm, I can run for the sheltering arms of Jesus. I can leave the hurt and pain behind and move forward knowing that if I fall down there are brothers and sisters in Christ waiting, willing and wanting to pick me back up, dust me off and say, let me walk down this road with you. Where I used to pray please God don't let them find out. I pray please God let them see that your redeeming love can save someone as lost as me. That there is room for Christ to turn my life and anyone else's life around.
John 3:30 30 He must become greater; I must become less.
I want to become less and less till when people look at me all they see is the love of Jesus.
3:21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.
This makes me ask myself if people can see PLAINLY the hand of God on my life? I pray that my surrender would continue to be more and more evident and that everythig I do glorify Him!
3:27 John replied, "God in heaven appoints each person's work."
I have to admit it, I cannot stand my job. Nothing that I am good at is put to use there, but God blessed me with it anyway. I pray that I do a better job of patiently serving Him where I am at, at the same time as praying for a door to open where my heart and gifts would be put to better use! (FOR HIM)
3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.
A heavy majority of my friends and family (asside from Rockway) do not have a relationship with Christ. That really bothers me and I pray that I do a better job of letting God use me to give them an opportunity to change that.
3:27 - A man can only receive that is given him from heaven.
I'm not sure exactly what the "real" meaning of this is, but to me is reinforces that everything I have is from God and there is not room for envy on my part. I should be happy with whatever I have. In some eyes, I'm wealthy, in some poor. But, I cannot completely grasp how RICH I really am by being a child of God. My prayer is that everyone be a RICH as I.
Father God- Thank you for the blessings in my life. Thank you for making me rich and reminding me that I have only because of you. Thank you for the best blessing of all - Jesus and salvation.

Let my life reflect this verse!

John 3:24, "(This was before John was put in prison.)"
I would think that goes without saying.
Just a thought...
