The Trinity is True

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - John 1:1

"The same was in the beginning with God." - John 1:2

In these sentences the Trinity is proven. 

They provoked an epiphany in me, I'll explain further in a moment.....

And this verse: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." - John 1:14

What does Begotten mean?

1. 'To cause (something) to happen or exist.' 2. (typically of a man, sometimes of a man and a woman) bring (a child) into existence by the process of reproduction. 3. To give rise to; or bring about. 

Synonyms included: lead to, result in, bring about, create, produce, generate, etc. You get the gist.

So I read that definition and I then I read John 1:14 once more and these questions and answers came to me:

Why was Jesus the Son of Man? 

Because His body was flesh, it was 'Of man'. 

So then why was He the Son of God? 

Because His being was deity, He was 'Of God' 

And then I read John 20:22 "And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy spirit." 

And then I thought well, how could The disciples have received the Holy Spirit by the breath of Jesus unless the very breath of Jesus was in fact The Holy Spirit.

So, if the Word was God, and the Word became flesh, and that flesh was Jesus, and the Holy Spirit was the very breath that came out of Jesus, (the same breath that breathed life into us and formed the entire universe) then I am left to one indisputable truth.... Jesus is God. 

There is nothing new under the sun. Jesus Was and Is and Is to come. His word is true.

Fearfully & Wonderfully

"Fearfully And Wonderfully" by Brianna Colleen Carey ©

Verse 1:

Maybe if I change my hair

Switch the clothing that I wear

To something more popular 

Maybe that will heal my soul 

Maybe if I talk like that 

Maybe if I change the way I act

Maybe then they might accept me 

despite the confidence I lack

Chorus: 

But my God, He loves me just the way I am

Every freckle, every blemish, every lovely imperfection 

He doesn't make me paint my face 

To Him there's not a curl out of place 

He made me fearfully and wonderfully 

No, He doesn't make mistakes

Verse 2:

Well maybe if I lose a little weight 

I'll finally get asked out on that date 

Maybe then I'll be attractive 

Maybe then he'll see my face 

Or maybe if I put these contacts in 

Tighten up these wrinkles on my skin 

Maybe then I'd be desirable 

Maybe then I'd find a man

Repeat Chorus

Bridge: 

I know what will work

I'll just buy this purse 

Acrylic on my nails 

Then they'll see my worth 

I'll get all the latest styles 

I'll whiten up my smile 

Straighten out my teeth 

Maybe then I'll catch their eyes 

I'll put extensions in my hair 

Change the clothes I wear 

I'll be more like them 

and maybe then, they'll care! 

End Chorus: 

But see my God, He made me just the way I am

Every freckle, every blemish, every lovely imperfection 

So I'm not gonna change a single thing 

I wont try to desperately fit in 

He made me fearfully and wonderfully 

They'll just have to love me as I am....

End Line: 

See God, He loves you just the way you are 

Every freckle, every blemish, every beautiful scar

No, you don't have to try to win His heart

Don't ya know you had it from the start

He made you fearfully and wonderfully 

Beloved, He set you apart.
