1 John 5:13-21 & Conclusions

Good morning lovely ladies! For the last time until our next session, right? :) I've been reading these verses of wrap-up for 1 John this week and studying my commentary too and honestly, the closing remarks in my commentary were so stunning I thought I just must share the pages. 2 and a 1/2 pages of wonderful Christian application were 2 and a 1/2 pages too many to type out, so I scanned them and uploaded them below! If you have the time to read them and ponder, the simplest way is to right-click on each image and "Save Image As" to your computer, where you should be able to enlarge each image to a readable size. (Sorry I couldn't figure out how to do it here!) I highly recommend the extra moments spent doing this. God gives some Christians such a way with words like so many of you girls, to encourage and inspire other Christians to a closer walk with the Lord. (This commentary has been close to my heart for a few years now and I am always thankful for the extra wisdom found within!)

I thought the way John finished this first book by God's direction was so tough and tender at once, and definitely left a mark on the how I will see this book of the Bible in the future (much like how our previous James study did too!). I really enjoyed getting to know all of you better through this and although towards the end here it was difficult to complete my daily postings, I am thankful for the growth this study has provided us! Both relational and spiritual growth! God has been faithful to teach me where I especially need to learn more, and I feel that I have been pruned (sometimes too much it seemed!). But his grace is boundless for our insufficiency and he carries us always through both hills and valleys.

You all have been a blessing to me and I pray we all continue in our personal daily walks with God and be open to his lessons and his graces. 

Keep in touch all (Facebook!) :)

Love in Him,
