Wednesday's Living Water

Scripture

"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.

"Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.
John 14: 10-11



No crees que yo estoy en el Padre, y el Padre en ? Las palabras que yo os digo, no las hablo por mi propia cuenta, sino que el Padre que mora en es el que hace las obras.

Creedme que yo estoy en el Padre, y el Padre en ; y si no, creed por las obras mismas.
Juan 14: 10-11


Reading - Slowly read the Scripture passage several times


Meditation - Take some time to reflect on the words and phrases in the text. Which words, phrases or images speak to you most?


Prayer - Offer the internalized passage back to God in the form of a personalized prayer of adoration, confession, renewal, petition, intercession, affirmation, or thanksgiving.


Contemplation - What word or image captures the spirit of the passage for you?

Thursday's Living Water

Scripture

So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

"And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."
John 8: 28-29
