January 5 – John 13:36-“Whither I go, thou canst not follow Me now; but thou shalt follow Me afterwards.”

 Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

 

END OF MYSELF

 

When I come to the end of my promises.

When I vow the last vow I will say,

All resolutions planned encountered discord

Until Jesus Christ will finally have His full sway.

 

Human strength will attempt to be working

Like Peter, we break vows that we undertake.

We are being changed by the Power of the Spirit

He’s the battery that empowers the promises we make.

 

Help us come to the end of our struggles.

May the Holy Spirit lovingly flow as we go.

When the Holy Spirit completely invades us

Each step with Godly obedience will show.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: Peter denied Jesus. Peter loved Jesus. Peter served Jesus.

Journal the reasons you think that Jesus still used Peter. Have you ever been used of the Lord when you felt you were a complete failure? Journal the blessings.

DEAR LORD, thank you for using me just as I am. Thank you for seeing the potential in me, when I didn’t see a glimmer of hope in myself. Thank you for the lessons I am learning in transparency before you. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
