Finished Reading Bible Book of John
I went back to reread the Book of John. Each time the meaning always sounds different and my perspective changes.
Reading the Book of John there are many times "light" was mentioned. This makes me write down verses that resonate with me so I can go back at any time to read them again and again. I'm hoping I can memorize them one day.
John 1:4-5
"In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
John 3:19-21
"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
John 12:35-36
"Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light."
John 14:27
"....Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
John 15:7
"If you remain in me and my words remain in you,, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."
God has shown me the kindness to build my faith by choosing me to be a believer. By giving me a purpose for my life and a means to achieve it through Him. Being faithful to the little purposes in my life. I must obey God rather than a human being. I chose to do this because I can't please a man. I can please Him. I read about Thomas and I share his strengths and weaknesses. Thomas is devoted to Jesus and follows Jesus. His faith is weak when Jesus was not around. Sometimes Thomas was skeptical and questioned but he was honest about it. If he didn't understand something, he said so. If he felt discouraged, he acted like it. I am very much like Thomas. I doubt and question faith a lot. I went through many trials that pile up and I'd start having a lot of doubts. I know God is always good. His plan for me is clear never confusing but only if I'm willing to listen from my heart.
