1 John



hey guys – still hunkered down in 1 john. 


 


I wrote a couple days ago about living ‘fractured’ and how the weight of the blessings God has for us, can actually harm us than do us good, until we heal our cracks (repent, making every effort to remain pure, without sin)


 


I feel as though when I spend more time in the word, when I find myself praying through my day, singing, worshipping in what I do, that I am in effect, spending more time with Jesus.


 


If I invited you over to my house but you were obsessed with your phone and paid me no attention, I wouldn’t say that we are spending time together.  I would say we are in physical proximity, but not ‘spending time’. 


 


I hear God telling me that the answer to our fractured lives is simple. 1 John 2:12-14.   Spend more time with Jesus.  As a result and through that, we gain an understanding of WHO WE ARE in Christ and just how liberated from sin we actually are.


 


Praying for you now to keep in the word, spend time with Jesus, heal those fractures and get ready for the weight of his blessings. 


 


Peace and Love,


Jon
