In Texas, it's that Season.
We begin the gasp of not really autumn. Looking at glorious May and June photos, realize, with Hurricanes exactly mid-way of the season, and, in the sub-tropics of Houston, --- hope to hang on. New beginnings for the children. Tired of the news. Dry or overly flood weather. Not the crisp colors of, usually, the East Coast. This is a work-to-be cheerful season, for All of Us.
We can find Good News.
We see Jesus suffered profoundly for us and died.
And we wonder today about the passion surrounding Jerusalem and even our families. The Pandemic Brain.
Jesus prayed for us, a profound prayer in John 17
The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
And apparently, in John 21, we have conflict over suffering,

And apparently, in John 21, we have conflict over suffering,
Redeemed Jesus seeking reconciliation. Peter grousing over John's fate.
The work of the cross working immediately. Jesus telling us He is still at work.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things "work" together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Look at the Old Testament and what drew men of all backgrounds and personalities to God:
Micah 4:3
He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.
Abraham gathered blessings and mercy for others. This is what drew him to God. Father of Nations. Abraham felt God should be merciful, asking God to spare mankind. And earned the blessing of the millenniums. God's attitude on mercy.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Jacob fought God all of his days for a Blessing and sought to bless his children and grandsons. God granted Jacob the blessing, all of his days. As Jacob believed he lived the blessings of God.
Moses wanted justice for the people he felt were abandoned. God provided more than justice, and the slaves left with their former masters' gold and jewelry. God guarded them tenderly.
Eli wanted God's Words to be fulfilled. He wanted Hannah to be blessed. And Samuel to hear. Eli lived to see all of God's Word fulfilled.
Samuel mourned (not his sons continuing Judges but Saul and his duty to God to anoint David). Like the Prodigal Father - He longed to run to his son and have that embrace.
Nathan saw God loves like a Shepherd. Tenderly caring in love. Nathan cared for David as a witness to Love all their lives. Not Gad, who did a job thundering away.
Elijah was pressed to the wall in famine, unbelief and war. He believed God. Listening to the reassuring small voice - "God had not forgotten him."
Elisha saw the measure of Elijah's faith endure and carry him through hardship. He began seeing the blaze of Elijah revealing God's glory, in a time of abundance as Ahab was defeated. The joys of the world were not going to overcome his faith.
Jonah mourned a plant - not even caring for the repentant. Jonah had no root in himself but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.
Isaiah jumped into serving GOD with glee. He got his feet wet in Uzziah's reign and lived joyously bringing the Good News of faith in the LORD let the people to hear, understand, see and perceive, the heart of the people worked tirelessly to be turned and healed. King Hezekiah's faith brought the prosperity of God to bring faith in placing HIM first. Isaiah's willingness was a forerunner of "behold the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
Jeremiah wanted to be left alone. Well, unfortunately for Jeremiah - he was left alone. And God grew him. Jeremiah began in the most glorious of religious reigns reviving the Temple and discovering the forgotten Word of GOD. Jeremiah gave God's prophecies, enduring ridicule, and lived to see the Word fulfilled, immediately. He lived to see an abandoned Jerusalem have peace.
Ezekiel believed better times were coming during war. He knew God would show up when their righteousness was gone. He trusted God to be merciful to them.
Habakkuk cried out for help so loudly, insistently with expectation. God answered.

Luke 7:31
To what, then, can I compare
the men of
this generation?
What are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another:
‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
Revelation 7:9
After this I looked,
and there before me was a great multitude
that no one could count,
from every nation, tribe, people and language,
standing before the throne
and
before the Lamb.
I've heard two people give me amazing participation in the Holy Spirit. One person explained earnest prayer is given at night, every new day Jesus makes all things new. As prayer is made with tremendous Love and complete expectation.
Another person told me in Bible Study, they feel how much Jesus Christ loves them daily and want to participate. And this person went on to pray for us all to have this discernment. To know the Love Jesus has for us, makes us want others to have this in their lives daily.
Almost all people who dream of Heaven and see the Gates of Heaven, fixed into the walls of Heaven = looking into the inside - (Revelation reveals Living Stones of many colors) report the walls of Heaven walking up to Heaven are this color.
The same color as the Temple in Jerusalem. Even the people who did not know this, report this color. The walls of Heaven sit up on a hill. Looking up to walk to the Gates of Heaven.
