I woke up a little late this morning and prayed for some quick inspiration for my post . It’s funny how the Lord works His wonders each and everyday. He did it again this morning. I don’t need to write inspirational words for you this morning, I just need to put in front of you one of the most beautiful Gospel’s written for us. Read it and enjoy. From John’s 3rd chapter…
God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,
but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
And this is the verdict,
that the light came into the world,
but people preferred darkness to light,
because their works were evil.
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light
and does not come toward the light,
so that his works might not be exposed.
But whoever lives the truth comes to the light,
so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.

Do something great for our Lord today – live the truth, come to the light so that your works may be clearly seen as done in God. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
God’s will, not mine, be done.
Be not afraid; just have faith.
Jesus, I trust in You.
He must increase; I must decrease.
