Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory.” John 1:14   God’s Word, Jesus Christ, Who is Immanuel, God with us, is dwelling in us right now.   Let us see His glory!   We have already seen that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).   Yes, the same God Who said “Let there be light” in the beginning of Genesis (1:3), has now willed that we, His beloved children
