Notes From January 9, 1994

Notes from January 9, 1994

These are notes that I wrote in my Spiritual Notebook on January 9, 1994. It is time to share these with you today.

Love others not expecting anything back in return. Give out expecting it to keep going. The only way I can call Jesus "friend" is if I have a clean conscience and am doing what He wants me to do. A friend is someone that shares your life with you.

Servant - devoted to another, follows without question and without knowing, treated lowly, kept in the dark

Friend - shares and becomes a part of a person's life, shares with us, gives to us, Jesus

We are never alone if Christ is our friend. Joy will come to us if we do the things Christ wants us to do.

John 12:

44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Life everlasting to it's fullest comes from following Jesus fully. What Jesus said came from God the Father. Do we abide in darkness or follow the Light? Does Jesus call me friend? Do I show Him true friendship?
