Words of Jesus
And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."
Revelation 21:5
Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one."
John 10:25-30
Always be doing something worthwhile, then the Devil will always find you busy and more difficult to distract.
— St Francis of Assisi
Abba, Father, Lord God, I am thankful Lord, I am aware of You being, yet I wrestle with fear or doubt. Thinking that fear has no place in our relationship for it is driven by love, yet doubt breeds fears. But it is it doubt in You or in what You want and expect from me that causes the confusion that surrounds me today. Or is it just my weak nature struggling with my human being unable to accept the mistakes that I have made yet unwilling to exercise the practice of discipline that it takes to avoid making the same mistakes again or the realty that no matter what I do or how much I practice, I will never be mistakes free. Yet is it making a mistake or being disobedient that haunts me; is it the fear that I cannot be or the doubt of how I should be. For I feel You have shown me and given me insight into the words we use to express what we (I) hear and say so that I can understand and interpret what it is that we (I) should feel! For where there may be many words there is only one feeling. And it is feeling that connects me in the Spirit through Jesus to You; this I do believe even when I do not do what I have heard You expect me to do. So I wrestle with what I have heard and try to know what I should and do feel; contemplating how to know if it is my human being telling me or my spiritual being feeling me until I cry out – show me Lord, touch me help me feel what to do. For I feel I am awakened for a reason and You are enlightening me for a purpose. Help me through this stage as the fire of Your touch purifies and readies me for what You have planned for me; help me feel what to do, to know when to wait and when to act. Do not let my human being corrupt the purification and development of my spirit being for I know that it is only in the spirit that I can feel my connection to You help me to walk under the sun in this human being awakened and aware of the spirit being that is the breath I breathe and let each breath I breathe feel the connection to You. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
