This morning I was trying 
something a bit different...
Reading scripture...
..out loud.
giving tone and definition to the 
dialogues
'Hearing' the people speak....
AND
Speaking
the Words of Jesus....
Not in Aramaic as He would have said them
but the Same words all the same...
How cool is that!?
Saying the same Words
that the God of the Universe
my Master and Lord
spoke
while on earth as a man...
And one of those 'words'
made me think...
Jn 8:31  So Jesus said to the Jews 
who had believed in him, 
“If you abide in my word, 
you are truly my disciples,
32  and you will know the truth, 
and the truth will set you free.” ESV
If you ABIDE in My Word
So what does that look like?
How would I do that?...
Hmmmm.... 
maybe reading out loud
Jesus' words....?
Probably a good start... :)
Weaving His words
into the fabric of my life.
Becoming familiar with them
Like a well used work shirt
It and I take on the 'odour' of each other
Like hanging around with people
for a long time....
I begin to laugh like them
Think like them
Look like them?
Lord I want to
Abide
in Your Word
In You
thank You for my time
with You
this morning
I trust I Am becoming
more like You...
Bless Your Holy
Name
I bless You
Lord Jesus.
My King
and 
friend...
Yeah.
