While we may have never touched Jesus or seen him with our eyes, all that follow him have experienced him. Now that we have experienced Jesus we have a duty, and hopefully a passion, to make him known. We do so by the way we love each other and people still trapped in this world. Let's cast off the sin that entangled us when we were in the world. May we no longer pick up the chains from our past. Instead, let's bask in the light of the glory of our God who saved us, who calls us his children.
1 John 1-7
1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4We write this to make our joy complete.
5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

1. What are you still holding onto that God wants you to get rid of?
my worries, my stresses, all the things that make me "fidget".
2. What did you learn about God from this passage?
i learned that if i live in darkness, that i am not walking w/ Him.
3. What should you change in light of this passage?
i should pray to God that i can get rid of my worries, stresses, etc. and that He is going to take care of me no matter what.
and w/ me, my worries and stresses are of worldy things. and i know that God doesnt want us to follow worldly things, but to follow Him.
so.
to change for me, would to just get rid of the worldly junk in my life, and to just straight follow God.
