“For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a command to say everything I have said. I know that his command is eternal life. So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.””
John 12:49-50 CSB
Two things I love about this passage: first, that Jesus conveyed exactly what God wanted Him to say and do. Second, that the things Jesus communicated bring eternal life. I want this to be true of me as well…but surely I am far from this being my reality.
Lord, guide my words today. Allow me to speak life in conversations at work, with my kids and with those I counsel. Don’t allow fear or funniness to sidetrack what You want me to say. Give me boldness and compassion, confidence and perception to know exactly what the moment needs and trust You for the outcome.
