Read Jesus

John 1:14  "The Word became Flesh and made His dwelling among us.  We have SEEN His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

The Word became Flesh.  The Word.  God's Word or The Holy Bible made possible through the Holy Spirit speaking to people here on Earth, That Word too?  You mean I carry Jesus around with me in a book, or on my tablet or in my smart phone..if I have God's Word memorized and hidden in my heart, The Word, is in me.  Amazing.

I have been told since I was small that if I asked Jesus He would come live in my heart and one day I would live in heaven with Him.  Later, after I asked Jesus in to my heart, I learned that I needed to show respect to God's Word that I carried around with me in a book.  Never had I made the connection that the two were the same.  I have even read the above passage many times.  It took my some 40 years to discover that Jesus' love Language is talking and time!

God sent His Son to Earth that we might have life eternal with Him because He LOVES me and you! (John 3:16)   That same son was with Him before time began and was a part of all that was created.(John 1:1)  Later He came to earth in the flesh like you and me and experienced life, talked with us, taught us, suffered for love and died for love.  He loved us so much He made sure that we couldn't forget Him.  He helped a multitude of people, like you and me, write HIM down.  So we could spend time with Him every day.  We can listen to HIM, hold HIM, remember HIM, KNOW HIM!  Love letters, instructions, encouragement, discipline, warnings, direction - LIGHT!  All that is good in this life is written in Gods Word because all that is good IS The Word.

Do you want good things?  Know The Word.  Read, study, memorize, hold in your heart, write down what He brings to your mind and pray - talk to Him.  Sure He likes gifts of praise and song but what He wants most is your heart, what you hold dear.  Take time every day to speak to God in His Love Language - The Word.  You will have light to your path, warmth of peace in your heart and strength for the day, with Joy to share.  What more could you possibly need?

Jesus Loves Me this I know for the Bible tells me so, little ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong.
Yes Jesus Loves Me Yes Jesus Loves Me Yes Jesus Loves Me The Bible -The Word - HE TELLS ME SO!
I love Jesus does He know?  Have I ever told Him so?  Jesus likes to hear me say that I LOVE HIM every day.
Yes I love Jesus. Yes I love Jesus. Yes I love Jesus.  In prayer I tell Him so.

Know Him. Love Him. Read Him.  Tell Him.  Amen.
