am i allowed to say that? it really is true though. i don’t know whats best for me. i depend on God’s direction daily.

on his way back from talking with the woman at the well Jesus was hanging out with the disciples. they were urging him to eat and he told them “i have food to eat that you don’t know about.” i can just imagine some of them talking amongst themselves trying to figure out where he had stashed his food.

Jesus told them”my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.”- John 4:32-34
now i know at this point most people start thinking “well this is Jesus we are talking about here i mean he was God and so thats why he says things like that.”

sure thats true, but he was a man, he breathed air, he worked a job, he got angry, he laughed. i truly believe that Jesus came not only to die and rise again so that we could live but also to set an example for how we are to live.

“God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.”- Colossians 1:27-29

mature in Christ. is this attainable? most Christians believe that they will be glorified and made like him once they are caught up and leave this life. rightfully so if you read Philippians 3:20-21.

i think that Christ wants to start that process of making us like himself now. this is tough because everything we are surrounded by is opposed to what he lived for. some days are better than others but as Christians i believe that this is how God shows his glory.

Jesus was so focused on the work that God had for him “the son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the father doing. For whatever the father does, that the son does likewise.” - John 5:19

i have work to do that God prepared for me. may i be so connected to the father that i do what he does, that i love what he loves, that i think about what he does.

ok thats it. just wanted to confess that.
