Daily Bites

Often, when you are away, getting a letter from those you love is like receiving a little piece of home. This week as you study the passages from John, consider them a letter from "home"--from a Brother and a Father who love you and intend to come to take you home soon!

• Begin each session with prayer - maybe something like this: "Lord, help me to come to know you better as we spend time together..."
  
  
• Read the passage--several times noticing as many details as you can.
  
  
• Imagine the setting--put yourself in the picture. Try to imagine the sounds, smells, sensations.
  
  
• Summarize the passage--in your own words.
  
  
• Apply the passage--what message is God giving you?
  
  
• Meditate and pray--meditate on how this passage makes Jesus more real. Talk to Him about the passage and about using the information you have learned.
