I don’t use this translation as my first reading but use it to enhance whatever verse I am reading. There are times it just doesn’t do it for me then other times a phrase like What’s next Papa? leaps from the pages straight into my heart. Thanks for all the comments

Defining ourselves in that Holy Relationship truly places our lives in the right context.

Have a Blessed Day!

I’ve been using The Message this year in my devotional reading. The unfamiliar paraphrasing has been an incredible blessing, helping me hear God’s words in unexpected ways. Good stuff.

One thing if we did ask Jesus first we surely wouldn’t make some wrong mistakes and less headaches.

Thanks, Jean!
