TODAY’S WORD…

.

Whoever has the Son has life;

whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

.

– 1 John 5:12 (NRSV)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

Do you believe Jesus when He tells you,

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life” 1 ?

Do you believe Jesus when He declares,

“I am the bread of life.

Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,

and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” 2 ?

.

If you truly believe in Jesus

and, reassured by what He tells you about Himself

you gladly accept Him inside your heart

to lead you and guide you,

then whatever your circumstance,

you will surely make your own the Psalmists faithful cry:

“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want!” 3

.

Have faith, therefore, dear believer,

focus on Jesus

and entrust yourself entirely into His loving arms,

and you will find rest

and solace

and peace,

as you become filled with the hope of eternal life!

.

With Jesus in your heart

your life and circumstances will have a new meaning and purpose

and you will realise that you truly lack nothing.

.
