Today we begin the beautiful work by John. While there is a divide between which John is the author (John the son of Zebedee or John the Elder) the story does not lose its authenticity. Who is Jesus and who is He to you? That is the central question and one that sparks debates across religions. As a Trinitarian I believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Well, I could go into lengthy discussions and share countless ways God speaks to me through His Word and the love I feel as I repent of unspeakable sins. Yet, God never leaves me nor forsakes me. And He is always with you.

In this moment I would like you to read John 1:1-18 and see the heart of God moving through every situation in your life. I've often asked myself why would God manifest Himself in human form to draw His children back to Him? And the conclusion I come away with is persevere to continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success.
