John 10:25 Amp Jesus answered them, I have told you so, yet you do not believe Me [you do not trust Me and rely on Me]. The very works that I do by the power of My Father and in My Father's name bear witness concerning Me [they are My credentials and evidence in support of Me]. Isn't it interesting that Jesus' works testify of His beliefs rather than contradict them? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to boldly state the next statement as Jesus did? John 10:37-38 The Message 37 If I don't do the things my Father does, well and good; don't believe me. 38 But if I am doing them, put aside for a moment what you hear me say about myself and just take the evidence of the actions that are right before your eyes. Then perhaps things will come together for you, and you'll see that not only are we doing the same thing, we are the same--Father and Son. He is in me; I am in him." There is a saying that 'actions speak louder than words'. Actually, they can write an entire biography. What does ours say? Does it testify of the love of God; Or the love of ourselves, money, greed, and lust. We must be careful because people around us are reading our biographies all the time. If we don't like the way our biographies are being written then there's only one thing that we can do. We have to change the author of our actions. I hope you enjoyed reading the word of God in a new light. Have a Happy Wednesday! God Bless, Min. Tommy & Sis.
