Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-20

1 John 4:9 (NKJV) 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

Living through Him comes when we allow Jesus to change us and the way we look at things in life.

We live through Him by having our minds and hearts transformed.

Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

People may think that when Jesus changes us, our life comes to a complete stop. We can’t have fun. We have to be serious; we can’t have a sense of humor, etc.

There is no laughter. We have to be dressed just so and carry ourselves a certain way.

Basically, we think we have to walk around looking like there is no joy in life as a child of God.

But let me say, all that I have experienced in life through Christ has been most excellent in every way.

He brings such peace!

He brings a joy and love that we can’t experience without Him! He is satisfying to every inch of our being and in every area of our life.

He brings healing and restoration in those areas where we were once hurt, abused, scarred and left empty.

When we live though Him, we become more confident and stable, meaning we have purpose and direction.

Thank you, God, for your love for us, and for sending your only begotten son, that we may live through Him! It truly is the most awesome thing anyone could have done for us.

We love you, Papa!
