Life, light and love; God knows what we need. And He is not only a God of knowledge but also a God of provision. Our Father can perfectly provide these requirements for His children for He Himself is Life, Light and Love. Try to picture yourself as a Shan Dai person who for the first time understands the truth of who God is. God not only is the Creator of life but He is Life. Jesus does more than light our path; He is the Light of the world. Our Father is the very best at loving for He is Love. This creating, light-bearing God loves us. God, thank You for revealing Yourself to us and Lord with gratitude we pray for You to be made known to the Shan Dai people. John lived in joyful fellowship with Jesus, who is Immanuel, God with us. It is His desire for our joy and fellowship to be complete in God too. The conclusion of John’s first letter gives assurance: “And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. So whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have his Son does not have life. I write this to you who believe in the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13). There is no need for us, or the Shan Dai, to live in doubt. God, we thank You that through Jesus we can live fully in the life, light and love that You make available to us.
