Tim's devotions

"I have told you these things,
so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world."

John 16:33

Jesus is preparing his disciples for his crucifixion. He tells them that there will be great suffering, but to have faith in Him, not in the world and there will be eternal joy through him.

Each day brings opportunities for worry and distress. However, when I lean on the Lord and begin to 'walk beside him', it feels like a 'fresh spring' and brings peace to my day. For I know that the Lord has given his one and only son to overcome anything that the world may throw out. Jesus offers us eternal peace through him.

Dear Father, thank you for your son Jesus! He is our saviour, our leader, our brother who loves us more than himself. Thank you for giving him the strength to endure all of the pain in order to provide us eternal life through him. Thank you Father, my life is yours!

Amen!
