John 14
“
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word,
and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.
Rise, let us go from here.
We wonder about the way, the truth and the Life. And what we need to Live is hope, faith and love.
Let's find this — the place we are living. Shown. God says, “Fear Not” we are misplaced or forgotten; instead in realization of His Plan. Living God. Living Word. Placed in God's Plan.
Peace. Believe in the Works of God.
Where is the Good News this past week?
Goodness
We have new news of the Vote. And we want to live in the Truth.
We have the knowledge — all of us — where truth is pointing in the News. Social Media. And we will go where we find Truth. Deliberately we will find the Truth. And in this determination we see change. Truth is a Force of Nature.
We find people vote less along agenda and more seeking Goodness. Lines have changed as the people seek Goodness. Democrats and Republicans are blending to the middle. Democrats I know are proclaiming themselves to be Moderate on Social Media. I haven't seen Moderation been discussed in a long time. I see this on the Republican side too.
Our Churches remind us all things work together for Good for the majority of Americans praying. We want the Purposes of God.
Senator Mitch McConnell is urging the Process of Law. The basis of the Republic and giving his years of experience, saying this is part of our American Experience. Senator Joe Manchin, WV, is asking us to find the middle and not let fringes run us awry.
Exploring the Process of the Votes is the right of Donald Trump to explore his Civil Rights. And this Vote is completely believed to be solid vote counting.
Truth and Peace
I'd bet there will be New Social Media and the mix of left and right will be — innovation. Why, easily understood the Media isn't filling in the gaps to represent our real views. The Vote shows we are crossing lines. We are growing comfortable not being represented and don't show viewer loyalty. We will be able to sort out the words we don't want to hear in Fellowship. We will remove what we don't want to see. We will be able to say remove repeat phrases. Controversy. “Violent Wrestling.” “Fearmongering.” “Fake Shame.” Or any phrase we chose. Exactly as we change Channels. Fabulous. No more censor.
Taking Fear and Dwell on God.
What we can't do, we believe firmly God is interested in.
Our powerlessness is transitory. Because we take our cares to Him Who Cares for us. We look with Love to the Word of God as unchanging. One Call. One Faith. One God and Father of All. And in All. Jesus Christ, our way, truth and Life to Salvation.
Go Now in Peace, Never be Afraid.
We have been afraid of Civil Unrest. With Covid. With Censoring. Calm the Media. Finding what Unites us.
Finding Common Ground.
We aren't going to be our best fake selves. We are going to be Merciful to each other and the process we are engaging in. Better to know, act accordingly. We will allow the process. Tolerant Love.
† We are seeing all the work from Unite and make Liberty and Equality. People are not seeking ugly revenge. In fact, One Major News Network fired a major newscaster for asking for retribution. We are finding Judges are not changing the voting laws recently. We will go with Legislative Civil Rights. We are seeing Peaceful Assembly. We see the Youth interested in our process of Government. Finding Unity. We are seeing the Media let go of some non-controversies with apology. Andrew Yang if giving us Common Ground. We will see Gridlock making us safer.
Staying on the Path
Allowing Good Faith. Finding Data and Evidence. Solving and making steadfast. Reliability. Recount and meet the Legal Challenges. The Electoral Process made more perfect. Following the Precedent of Florida 2000 A.D. Creating True Transparency. This is the Process of Government, naturally. All. We are owed this Governmental Process, All, to each one of us, to see the Challenges of one vote to one man.
Good Faith Evidence.
Not to be puppeted. To have Good Health. Reliable. Data with honesty. To ignore rudeness. Glory in righteousness and utter lack of uncertainty.
God is in the Changes.
Recognizing the Help of God this year. Recalling all this year. This horrible year people have said has cleansed their priorities and their hope and want for each other. The tremendous work this year has been. Gracious. Grateful.
Patient.
To see what our Prayers bring forth the Grace and Willingness of Father God. To find what is Beautiful. To find Harmony. Seek the Goodness of God. Earlier on Good Friday, we read and saw an average Sunday Sermon from The United Woodlands Methodist Church and the topic was Good Friday. It was poignant to see what we missed. To see. Having the Realization. And today, seeing Church on Television YouTube, to see the Valiant. Today. To find the Hope of God's Goodness. To understand again the Graciousness of the Good Fight. The Glory of seek and find the Higher Purposes of God. Lifted from the everyday, to find the Eternal.
Marvelous to find something in this very year to Rejoice with.
God Gives Us.

2 Corinthians 4:18
We look not to the things that are seen,
but to the things that are unseen.
For the things that are seen are transient,
but the things that are unseen
are eternal.
Isaiah 43:1-7
But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.
Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.
I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth
Please continue to bless us.
Amen in Jesus.
