John 15

Just like the previous devotional entry, I picked a chapter full of precious jewels.

For this one, I focused on verse 15. He's made known to us all that the Father has taught him. There are no secrets with God. He won't speak deceit or lies. He is straightforward since He only speaks one language - truth. And so should I. I should first and foremost be upfront and honest with God. Then, one of the hardest, is that I should be honest with myself - I have to ask myself the tough questions, or else someone will do it for me: where am I faltering in my relationship with Jesus? What can I do to mend bad or strained relationships? Who can I build bridges with in order to share the Gospel? What can I do to contribute to the Body of Christ? What I can I do to provide for my family? How can I best represent Jesus?

I have to answer these and many other questions honestly and to change or grow to glorify God.

    spot on those are some excellent questions worthy of time and much thought & prayer. verse 16 goes along with this well - the goal being lasting fruit. definitely a lot here to reflect upon
