HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in JohnSample

Where Else Are You Going to Go?

This passage lets us know that some “believers” will fall by the wayside during their journey. In other words, they may have never really believed in the first place. In times when God is teaching us a hard thing, should we just give up and go search for another? Absolutely not, if we are truly believers. An illness, or other difficulties in our lives, could be a “hard thing” that we’re experiencing and we will need to hold on tightly to the written promises in God’s Word. Let’s respond like Peter did, “Lord, to whom shall [I] go? You have the words of eternal life. [I] have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” There’s no other way.

Questions:

1. How does knowing that "Jesus is the Word of God" and His word brings life impact how I read and receive God’s word? 
2. What do I do when I feel like giving up? Do I believe that the greatest source of love and compassion is from my Heavenly Father?
3. What do I need to do in order to spend time in His Word learning more about the nature of my Father?
