“Jesus Told Us Ahead of Time”
📖 “But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them…”
—John 16:4a (NKJV)
Jesus always tells the truth—even when it’s about something hard.
He told His friends that one day, people wouldn’t like them for following Him.
But He didn’t say it to scare them.
He said it to prepare them.
That way, when things got hard, they would remember:
Jesus already told us this would happen.
And that means He’s still with us.
He never leaves us surprised or alone.
He wants you to be brave, strong, and full of His peace—even when things around you feel scary or unfair.
You can always remember what Jesus said.
And you can always trust that He’ll help you through it.
Think About It:
- Why do you think Jesus tells us hard things ahead of time?
- How does it help you feel when you know Jesus warned us and still loves us?
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank You for always telling me the truth. Help me remember Your words when things are hard. I know You love me and are always with me. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
