JOHN 1:12-13

READING: "12 But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, 13 who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God." - JOHN 1:12-13 (NABRE)

REFLECTION: When you accept Jesus in your heart, you will not be a servant or a slave but a dearly beloved daughter and son of God and God will be your Father. Have you decided to believe in His Name?

PRAYER: Harden not my heart O God and may the Holy Spirit restore my understanding that I may welcome again the embrace of God my Father.

JOHN 1:6-11

READING: "A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him." - JOHN 1:6-11 (NABRE)

REFLECTION: Are you another John of this generation who can testify that Jesus came to this world to save his own people? Or are you His own people who keeps on wandering because of ignorance of Him?

PRAYER: Dear Jesus, True Light of this world, enlightens our heart with Your love that we may fix our broken relationships and truly accepts Your saving hands.

JOHN 1:1-5

READING: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." - JOHN 1:1-5 (NABRE)

REFLECTION: If we want to know everything in life, we have to go to the Word who existed in the beginning and the the root of everything that exists today.

PRAYER: Dear God, help us to welcome the Word into our hearts that we may see the light to guide us in the darkness of our life.
