John 6:35-40 ~ I will raise him up

 

John 6:35-40

Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 

37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 

38 For I have come down from  Heaven, not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me. 

39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 

40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

I was thinking about freedom from worry today, in the middle of this season when the news is without many solutions. Poor Chicago. 

Jesus is the Gate 

John 10:9 

 I am the door. 

If anyone enters by me, he will be saved 

and will go in and out 

and find pasture.

And Our Father gave Heaven 12 gates. Pearl gates, yet, the images we have for Gates of Heaven...

What if the Pearl was the Glow of the Holy Spirit?

Jesus tells us the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. We are asked to pray more of God's Will done on earth as in Heaven. 

One of the ideas Mindful thought has, is as we enter a doorway - anywhere, we think of where we are, where we have been and be grateful. Some people do this for every doorway. What we pray for with hope.

Do I really believe we will do this in all doorways? No, life presses us on to the next thought. But any device or pneumatic device causing us to have more gratitude, is bound to increase positive thought patterns. 

To have gratitude, reminds us about sincere joy. Asking the Lord to flood every particle, cell, idea, light in our bodies to have gratitude. To bring Him Joy and our Joy as well.

We know Jesus had a physical body as He left the Tomb. And His feet literally went to the places He knew. What relief Jesus must have felt to have the ordeal of the Cross behind Him.

We could probably think, Jesus had His heart and mind focused joyfully on a new aspect of Life.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. New ideas, new paths. We know Jesus walked the road to Emmaus.  And traveled, appearing as Light itself, into rooms that were closed.

New ideas. 

What if we could just turn off the situations we talk about that are so bizarre, and only appeal to about 3 percent of the population.

And we thought about solutions.  

So many of the nurseries in the south, have too many winter to spring plants, they won't live to June. For short term, sure. 

What if we all put in the ideas that are so different, like not having a yard, and thought about His Good Creation.

To care for His Good Creation. And we took the ideas of no yard, to a yard that integrates bees and less water, mowing and insecticide. For the Northern United States, white Clover looks good in mild summer climates.

In Texas, and the South, we won't have this luxurious idea. But we could add in Texas Agrilife's Neches High Temp White Clover.  We would have a hybrid, but weeds would be diminished and bees would be shared with the glories of the whole Clover lawn.

And then we would find what we would seed our flowerbeds with, ending weeds as the taller flowers grew.  And thrilled the Hummingbirds, the birds looking for a worm and, again, the bees.

Ebby Halliday of Dallas used to love to tell about Dallas recovering from Black Monday 1987, Dallas had more business start-ups as a percentage of the entire population, than ever before.

We need some positive ideas and companies.  When the King Ranch was running out of ideas, they began to grow St. Augustine Grass, and the King Ranch was flush again. We need some optimism again.  Ideas inspiring hope, instead of just and, only, change. Inspiration. Gratitude. Mindful Gratitude.

Father, Abba,

On the days we do not appreciate all of our blessings, help infuse our blessings into our heart, minds and soul. Let every blood cell carry gratitude in us to our Joy 

And the Joy of Jesus Christ.

Help us to gather wisdom without shrewdness. Let us have the joy of gladness in our fellowship without the endless gathering of resources and funds.

Lord, in Your mercy, send help, in these days of gloom and unhappiness. Let those of us having a good season shine the Light of Jesus Christ so gently and brightly the world is eager for Jesus Christ. Let those of us having a season of stress and sorrow, believe gently and bring the Light of Jesus Christ for all of us.

In the Great Love of Jesus, 

we all be saved as we put our trust in Him.

Bless You, Father, for Jesus Christ. Amen.
