Week 14 - The Journey Day 5
"For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit." John 3:34
Once again God's word speaks of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God sends His Son Jesus and Jesus is the vessel for His Holy Spirit. Jesus is the perfect vessel and therefore is in complete obedience to God the Father and God the Holy Spirt as He is God the Son.
Jesus holds nothing back from the Holy Spirit, He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. What is the message for me in this verse? He must increase and I must decrease. My will should not overpower or in other words
ration the gift of the Holy Spirit. God holds nothing back from us and in turn we should hold nothing back from Him. It is In this cooperation that we live a life of abundant joy, it is the kingdom of God here on earth.
What is God saying to me? Take your time and do not rush, it isn't head knowledge (flesh) but heart knowledge (spirit).
Dear Father, there is such joy sitting at Your feet, there is anticipation of knowing what is coming and also not really comprehending the outcome though knowing it is happening. You have not rationed Your gift of Self and I strive to not ration my gift of self though I fall short of Your glory. Prayers of thanksgiving for Your gift and thankfulness of being able to sit in silence and ponder Your thoughts. Thank You for this day, for the work of our hands and the desire to be a pleasing offering to You. I ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
