3 John1:2,3

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=3%20John%202&version=KJV

When reading 3 John 1:2-3, John was sharing the Spirit’s desire for us to be well in the whole man. Our cry is for Christ to have our whole person. We understand how we are made new when trusting Christ as Savior; but since we live in a fallen world, many of us have bodies that are deformed or sick. The key to this is to acknowledge God’s goodness, and to turn ourselves over to Him daily in an offering, Romans 12:1.

On the topic of commiting ourselves to Christ, I heard an excellent posting from Joni Earekson Tada. She stated that she came to the place of daily giving herself to the Spirit’s direction and help. She has to be candid and share with Jesus that by herself she cannot live with quadrapeligia. It is all in our attitude, friends! God understands us and will meet us where we are at, Romans 8:32. He died for us, so it is proof His nature is to take care of us constantly.

In Cece Winan’s song, “Goodness of God,” it is so uplifting to sing along in thanksgiving.. Shouldn’t we do what creation is already doing, Psalm 19:1? He placed us here, in His circumstances and timing, in order to be witnesses of His goodness.

We can go forward this week knowing that God has our backs and is just and pure. I have found in my life that sometimes our hardships are allowed to accomplish the plans of the Creator. He is the potter, and we are the clay, Isaiah 64:8. He is the Heavenly Father, without any of the imperfections we may have experienced through authority figures or parents, Matthew 7:11 and Luke 11:13. Let us magnify His name! Amen!
