The Joy and Hope of Newly in Love!
John 1:35-37
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
And then there is realism and sarcasm. From the lack of awe and wonder. For action, lack of action and recompense. For hurt feelings and a good case of the selfies.
Revelation 3:16
You are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
The Stage of Marriage Counseling.
Mark 10:35-45
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher,
we want you
to do for us
whatever
we ask of you.”
36 And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”
38 Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
39 And they said to him, “We are able.”
And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized, 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.
42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you.
But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Shall we have a Prayer Journal?
Hindsight. Even the devil quotes Scripture. Jesus tells us He desires Mercy over Sacrifice.
Jesus is Grace upon Grace. Never again do the Gospels again record Jesus discussing John and James asking for the Best Seats in Heaven or earth. However, Jesus is God.
Luke 18:17
Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus said Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Luke 17:22
And He said to the disciples, "The days will come.
When you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it."
Pray without Ceasing.
Psalm 139
O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Matthew 18:3
"Truly I tell you," He said, "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Mark 10:15
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.
Father in Heaven.
1 Peter 2:5-6
You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
1 Corinthians 6
19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.Ezekiel 36:27
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.
Isaiah 63:11
Then His people remembered the days of old, of Moses Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in the midst of them,
2 Timothy 1:14
Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.
Abba,
You have given us Jesus, and our hearts Live Abundantly with Thanksgiving.
faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. The work of mankind is to believe the One God has sent, our Jesus, the Christ of God.
In all The Promises You Freely have Given us, we Thank You for Jesus and our welcome into Your Kingdom. Eternally today will become the Tomorrow of Eternity. Abundant Life in Jesus Christ.
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by His Powerful Word. After he had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
His Steadfast Love does not Change. We trust You, Abba, with our cares. We pray impudently as falling short of Your Glory. Praying with a Sincere Heart for Your Great Love and Mercy. Entrusting and enfolding those we Love in Your Love.
Resting all our cares in Peace. Your Peace. We ask to Seek You First. We ask You to put in us Your Way, Truth and Life. We ask to live in Love, Peace and Joy. And Believe this to be to Your Glory.
We are blessed, we have the eyes of faith, yet did not see Jesus. And we are Blessed to have faith and we will See Jesus. You live and move and have our being with You.
We join with the Communion of Saints knowing Your Good Creation is filled with Your Beloved asking Your Will be done on earth as in Heaven. Giving Thanks for Elliott to have healing. For Dee to feel better. For Jim to be healed. For our hopes in Jesus to be established in each give us this day.
Jesus is our Daily Living Bread. Thanks Be to God for Jesus and His Love. Amen.
