Beth Speaks a Good Word Again!

Several weeks ago, I started Beth Moore's book, The Beloved Disciple, about the life of John. It has gone a little slow for me because I am not as much of a history buff as I am one who reads for application. However, I can appreciate the importance of understanding this individual when trying to read his account of the life of Christ.

Last night, after almost 100 pages and a lot of history, I came across my favorite paragraph in the book so far and wanted to share it with you. When talking about the Holy Spirit, Beth said...

"Beloved, God wants to hang out all over you! Don't you see? That's why our circumstances and challenges are often beyond us! If life were completely manageable, we'd manage our own strength, and no one would see the living proof of God's existance in us. We were left here for the distinct purpose of becoming witnesses to an injured world in desperate need of a Savior."

SO TRUE! SO TRUE! It also makes me want to cry out- Lord don't let my struggles be in vain, but let my life be a testimony that Jesus Christ reigns over everything!
