What a powerful and joyful message! What was once a mystery is now a living truth. Through figurative language, our God tells us of the joy and protection we find in Him. I recently watched the movie "The Gospel of John" and was reminded of how Jesus came to reveal the mysteries of our God. He came to fulfill and begin all that this passage proclaims and that is good news! Wow. What a powerful and joyful message! What was once a mystery is now a living truth.

Am doing daily devotions at a local nursing home and would like to quote part of your thoughts. I will credit you and Goshen if you would allow me to do so. May you know God's blessing in this holy season. I found this very meaningful. Am doing daily devotions at a local nursing home and would like to quote part of your thoughts.
