Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
Week 4 - The Journey Day 6
"Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy." John 16:20
"Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy." John 16:20
The Journey. Are you ever really satisfied in the world? Truth be known the answer is no because once you have accomplished that goal or task, the joy is but for a minute. The joy that Jesus is talking about is eternity. Our lives here on earth are but a bleep in time and our earthly existence is over. If you are living for this world then the little joy you do experience is filled with an eternity of pain and sorrow.
Jesus is calling us to live our faith, to be His hands and His feet here on earth. His life wasn't easy and His real joy and happiness came upon His resurrection. "Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy. Those who go forth weeping, carrying sacks of seed, Will return with cries of joy, carrying their bundled sheaves." Psalms 126:5-6. I go back to little eyes are watching, we all want what is best for our children so does God so carry your sack of seed and do His bidding. "Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."" Matthew 9:37-38
What is God saying to me? Nothing goes unnoticed, these valley and hills you see will be made flat.
Dear Father, it is good we are here and I get to listen to You. My heart is not at rest until it rest in thee, I know You know what I am talking about. We live in a world that was created for us but this is not our home. Help us see what brings You joy and may we imitate the One You sent to follow. Prayers for a productive week without any distractions. Prayers for a safe week that accomplishes Your mission and purpose for each of us. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Zealous Defender of Christ, Pray for us.
