Recorded in the Gospel of John, our Lord made seven statements referring to Himself as I AM<\/em><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

I AM<\/strong> The Light of the World
\nI AM<\/strong> The Bread of Life<\/em>
\nI AM<\/strong> The Door<\/em> <\/em><\/span>
\nI AM<\/strong> The Good Shepherd
\nI AM<\/strong> The True Vine<\/em> <\/em><\/span>
\nI AM<\/strong> The Way, The Truth, and The Life<\/em><\/span>
\nI AM<\/strong> The Resurrection and The Life<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Each week during this season of Lent, here on the Seeking Him<\/em> blog, we will be focusing our devotionals on a different aspect of Jesus\u2019 revelation of Himself as I AM<\/span>.\u00a0 The aim of Lent should be to prepare our hearts for the remembrance of Jesus\u2019 sacrifice\u2014His trial and torture, the Crucifixion and His death\u2026and above all, the celebration of His Resurrection from the dead. \u00a0We pray that this will be a great encouragement to each of you who read them. \u00a0And that all of us will consider the significance of Jesus\u2019 words and, through them, be helped as we remember and are thankful for all Jesus went through during the last few weeks of His life on this earth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus said to them, <\/span>
\n“I AM the Bread of Life<\/strong>;
\nwhoever comes to Me shall not hunger,
\nand whoever believes in Me shall never thirst.”
\n<\/span>John 6:35 ESV<\/span><\/p>\n

How many times have we heard a great teaching in which we know we need to align areas in our lives with what God teaches us? …Many times. \u00a0We start really strong spending time with God, reading His Word, praying, listening to only uplifting music. \u00a0Then we allow other things to take up that time. \u00a0Work may get into our devotional time, household duties may get in the way. \u00a0We need to develop a covetous attitude toward our time with God.<\/p>\n

Here are some ways to do this:<\/p>\n
