Word alive John 1:1-3

Posted on by Just broken

John 1:1-3 (NLT)
1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.

The Word, He existed in the beginning with God. Everything was created through him, The Word.

He knows us because he created us. He puts things on our heart that we take as human nature – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, service, etc. These are Godly things, not human. Because they are Godly and not human, it’s why we struggle to commit our lives to them in everything we do. It’s why the good things are goals and not daily realities. It’s why we still have the poor, the hungry, the sick dying alone, prisons filled with broken souls.

Ecclesiastes 9:7 (NLT)
7 So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this!

He does. God’s not a stiff necked, pucker butted, prude. God is alive. The Word is alive. Jesus’s first recorded miracle was to make a good party great. Think about it. Then, think about what He calls us to. Who is this guy? Who is The Word?

Job 36:11 (NLT)
11 “If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.
All their years will be pleasant.

Maybe not in the way that you think, but in God’s way. What would you rather do – chase after material goods that end up broken or help others and change the world and inch at a time? The Word is alive in all of us while we live.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
