Words of Jesus
At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Matthew 11: 25 – 30
1 John 4: 7 – 16
7 Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16 So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
We must understand then, that even though God doesn't always give us what we want, He always gives us what we need for our salvation.
— St Augustine
Abba, Father, Lord God, thank You for this new day, a day to hope. My hope as always is that in giving thanks for all the blessings I have been given I will be lifted out of the worries and anxieties under the sun to walk this day with eyes of faith. Eyes that feel to see the good in all and eyes reflect the feeling of good that comes from walking with faith, hope and love which is the fruit I as a branch will yield when I walk connect to You the vine. For what good is it to worry about this or that, and the be anxious over what has or may, if I know that apart from You I am and have nothing. So I will try and fight to reach up and grasp onto the yoke of Jesus where I know the burdens under the sun will fade away as my heart is likened to His and my focus shifts from me to others, and my spirit trust in Your promise knowing and needing to trust no man and seek no counsel under the sun for I only need to trust You and come to You at the foot of the Cross of Jesus. I ask for Your hand to guide my thoughts, words and actions and again bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, keeping me from evil, and from causing any pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
