Week 5 - The Journey Day 2


Week 5 - The Journey Day 2

"Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."" ‭‭John‬ ‭21:18‬

Listening to God speak to Peter and then see how this conversation transformed Peter as Peter did as Jesus did.  Jesus challenges Peter in His love for God, getting Peter to affirm his love and Peter's last response was: "He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." [Jesus] said to him, "Feed my sheep."  ‭‭John‬ ‭21:17‬‬  Now Jesus tells Peter what his future holds after he had gone back to being a fishermen.   

This conversation must of helped Peter understand the call for His life, how many times in his life did Peter experience this conversation.  Peter spoke to God directly in the flesh and then over his life he spoke to God spiritually.  What is God saying to me?  Peter answered this question regularly just like you and I.   The time we spend in conversation with God is a special time, watching as Jesus visits with His friend Peter.  You and I are offered this same friendship, there is joy in listening.  Be attentive to His voice in your life, it will carry you home!

What is God saying to me?  In the silence you can hear Me, you see Me move in the lives of those that I love and I love all.  Be at peace.  

Dear Father, we are blessed beyond measure and I am thankful for all that You are doing.  In my daily walk, may I be attentive to those that You love, help me keep the focus on what is important and not get distracted by the unimportant aspects of life.  Thank You Lord for the memories, I trust in You for You know everything and I don't have to know.  Prayers for friends embarking on a new adventure, bless them with insights that bring about Your Kingdom.   I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.  

Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Prudent, Pray for us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b
