Shalom,
We read 1 John 3 today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and I LOVE these verses!
1 See what [an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him. 2 Beloved, we are [even here and] now God’s children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [as God’s children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He [really] is. 3 And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).WE ARE LOVED! Incredibly and powerfull LOVED! Rejoice in that fact and learn to walk in HIS love with others! One of the greatest ways to do that is to treasure the WORD of GOD! We also read the first half of Psalm 119 today and it is ALL about GOD'S WORD! I challenge you to read through and notate every reference to the WORD! Here is Hillsong with "Your Word":
Shalom in Him!
