“I have many things to say and judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I say to the world [only] the things that I have heard from Him.” -Jesus from John‬ ‭8:26‬ (amp)

Boy if we could take a card from Jesus’ hand here, we would all live in a much more peaceful world. Jesus was not blind to the evils around Him, but instead of focusing His attention on all the bad, He focused on the One Good… and then He only spoke the words He heard from His Father.

Humbling. I only have one reaction: Less of me Lord, please… continue to free me from myself as I set my eyes on You, and then teach me to walk lightly, trusting your justice and mercy and forgiveness and Love. Amen.
