Week 4 - The Journey Day 5
"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father." John 14:12
Journeying with Christ and the Apostles is a great journey. Their lack of understanding is also our lack of understanding and their great trust is also our great trust. Dwelling within these stories is our story and where we are at in the journey. "For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you." John 13:15. There are many examples and our lives emulate these examples.
Jesus as Son of Man was just that a man like you and I who was living the great adventure. Trusting in where God, His Father and our Father, where He was taking Jesus and us. In listening to Jesus we learn who the Father is and how we, in this time are to respond to the call of the Father. There is also another example of a father and another's example who has believed in his father's lies. If we are truthful with ourselves we as well have been in this place in life. It isn't until we explore, listen, and respond to God's call is truth revealed to us.
So what are we to do, if we are going to do things greater than Jesus? We are not going to do them without God, for a slave is not greater than the Master. But together as God speaks into our hearts and our response to Him is what He is talking about. Jesus walks with us and is in us along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Living a life of Hope is a great gift as well as believing that you are the child of the King. The Father takes great pride in His children so listen attentively, respond to what He asks and trust.
I have heard several stories recently of God's children doing miraculous things, it wasn't the person but it was Christ within. Know the gifts that You have and trust, all it takes is faith.
What is God saying to me? I have your life in My hands, you trust your life with others you do not know, trust in where We are going. Be at peace in all situations.
Dear Father, there is a joy in watching You at work in others as we all journey Home. You are doing many great things and many know of Your great deeds. Awaken our senses and perception to the gifts that You have already given us. Help us continue to develop the trust in You so that others can come to know the great abiding love You have for us. The world is in need of what Jesus teaches, May we be attentive to His calling in our lives. Prayers for a friend who recently experienced a heart attack even in this You have a greater plan for his life. Bless this day Lord, may we be thankful for all that You are doing, in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of the Sacred Heart, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
