Reflection: Priority: 3 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reflection Questions

        1. How often do we keep our hearts focused on the Lord? Especially when on a busy day? 

        2. Do you choose to see Him each day through thoughts and memories?

        3. Or seek His presence in all places with other people?

        4. Or asking Him to please write His words into your soul so that you can see each day through His view.

Share: When was the first time you saw through His eyes--His view? How does that guide you now?

Priority: 3 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 3rd John:13-14: "I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink; but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name."

Priority

 Lord, please keep our hearts living to You only.

May we see You every day through thoughts and meanings and relationships with others we connect with; knowing that You are present in all places. Holding us in heart and soul.

Please write Your Words into our minds--into our souls--into our breaths--so that we only see each day through Your view--Your sight.

With gratitude and love.

Your thoughts,

Testimony: 3 John: Prayers and Poetry

                Testimony 

                Words have such power
                for light or dark
                can twist too often
                when taken for granted.

                Words of truth are
                faithful always
                carried in love
                when we seek His witness.

                Words of grace and mercy
                fill our hearts daily
                creating ongoing life
                with God's presence.

Psalm 107: 40-41: "He pours contempt upon princes, And makes them wander in a pathless waste. But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes His families like a flock.

Reflection: Witness: 3 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reflection Questions

        1. Do you ask the Lord for His words only? Why or why not?

Witness: 3 John: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 3rd John: 11-12: "Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God. Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we also bear witness, and you know that our witness is true."

Witness

Lord, even in our times of uselessness we ask to stay true to Your words within ourselves and outwardly to others.

When we speak anything that are in error please dissolve them before any one hears or reads them.

We ask to hold to Your words only. Your truth only. And to live into them as You lead.

Your thoughts,

Self-centered: 3 John: Prayers and Poetry

                Self-centered 

                It is hard sometimes to

                realize a leader has become

                self-centered and twists

                truth for personal selfishness

                satisfied only with power

                pretending to be a faithful

                follower.


                It matters to seek the truth

                In every word and forbid

                Inciting lies to enter.

Psalm 107:39: "When they are diminished and bowed down, Through oppression, misery and sorrow."
