John 13:3 Jesus relationship with His Father meant everything to Him. Jesus came to do the will of the Father [John 6:38]. He only did what the Father instructed [John 14:31]. He came to convey the love of the Father to us [John 15:9]. Everything the Father has belongs to Jesus, too [John 16:15]. Our relationship to the Father should also mean everything to us. We, too, should do the will of the Father [Matthew 6:39]. We, too, should only do what the Father instructs us to do [1 John 2:3]. We should convey the love the Father has for us to others [John 15:12]. Everything the Father has given to Jesus belongs to us, too [Romans 8:17]. If we have repented and put our trust in Jesus for salvation, we are children of God. You are a daughter of God. I am a daughter of God. You and I have been given the Spirit of...
My one word for 2013 is..... What is a journey? What is the journey that I am on? What is the journey you are on? Journey - The act of traveling from one place to another; a trip. A distance to be traveled or the time required for a trip A process or course likened to traveling; a passage My scripture to guide me on this journey - [But] I don’t care about my own life [consider my life worth anything].

Scripture: Proverbs 31:1-2 NASB The words of King Lemuel, the oracle which his mother taught him: What, O my son? And what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows? Listen: http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/mcconachie/nasb/Prov.31.1-Prov.31.2 Watch: Observe: King Lemuel shares advice that his mother gave to him. We really don't know who King Lemuel was or where he was king. From the ESV Study Bible - "Most suppose that he was not an Israelite (which is consistent with the fact that the words for son in 31:2 and kings in v. 3b have Aramaic spellings, and with the absence of the special name Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel, from any of the sayings). " The ESV translation is "What are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb? What are you doing, son of my vows?"
