Whoever believes

John 14:12–14
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

I like that. I like that it says whoever believes... It's not if you're a pastor, a missionary, a super holy Christian... It's anyone that truly believes in Him. That's nice. It's a nice thought that God can work through absolutely anyone, as long as you believe.

And I like that God would help us do even greater things... With his help of course. All for His glory... Which is even more exciting! The thought that it glorifies God makes me feel excited because it's not any old thing, and it doesn't result in any old rubbish solution but rather a good and happy ending--not a tragedy! It's an encouraging thought.

But fundamentally, I love that anyone, whoever believes in Him will work through him. Not some super Christian that you always look up to... Yeah sometimes I used to think.. Oh man I'm not holy or knowledgable like that person and I used to think that was why God wouldn't answer my prayers. But I'm wrong.. Ha.

This is the first of (hopefully) many more devotional verses. Ramblings and my thoughts after reading a few verses or so.

I pray it will make you think too.
