I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

5.5.12

John 4:14 "But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."

My Thoughts
Oh how I love this verse.  I have had Jesus in my heart for a very long time...but up until the last 2 and 1/2 years I didn't know how to know Jesus better...I didn't understand really how to know God better.  Then I started reading my Bible every day!!  Praying everyday!   The more I know God the more I love this verse!!

Before when I would read this verse..I would see this verse as Jesus coming and dieing for our sins...and if we believe we would have a place in heaven.  Now I see it as so much more.  I see it as hope!!!  I know now that when I feel desperate I first know that Jesus is praying for me all the time..then I know that I can go to God, because of Jesus...and say here is my problem... here is what I am facing ...and I know that God understands! I know even if life is a bit hard that all things work together or the good, for those who love him (Romans 8:28). That spring inside me is hope.. is faith that God is bigger than all my problems.  I feel refreshed as soon as I turn my desperation over to God. Now my desperation fades fast as I feel the love of God bubbling up inside me giving me hope in every situation!!  Every time is happens I am still amazed!!
