The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 14:10, “Do you not believe that I am in the Father,

and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do

not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in

Me does His works.”

Did you ever just blurt out something and then ask yourself,

“Why on Earth did I say that?” I’m sure we all have. And

more often than not we then seek to justify having said it

for some obscure reason. Believe me when I say that

Satan often pushes us to say things that we later regret.

But the LORD also often speaks through us, so that while

we don’t regret what we said, we’re a bit puzzled as to

where it had come from.

If what we say in such situations is right and good, we

can safely assume that the LORD has put those words

into us. Look at Jesus. He said, “The words that I say

to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the

Father abiding in Me does His works.” When we walk

with the LORD every day and think about Him instead

of ugly and useless things, He uses us to speak to others

on His behalf. Knowing that what we have spoken was

of Him gives us a warm and good feeling.

Love and prayers always,
