Studying in John now and was concerned that I'd heard the stories of Jesus so often that this last of the four Gospels might not glean anything new. As I'd hoped, Holy Spirit is reminding, teaching again or anew so many truths that I need to hear.
I wrote this in my journal yesterday:
"Holy Spirit, I do not ever want to detract from Your Holy Word. I know John the Baptist was only human...but he had Your Spirit upon him...and I believe the most profound words I may ever read in Scripture are his: "He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30) I don't think I will ever reach the total depth of meaning contained in these 7 words...but I pray that with the help of You, Spirit, I will try! Amen!"
