If We Knew…
Jesus answered, “If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water.” -John 4:10
If we knew the generosity of God… If we would only stop judging a God of infinite Love through the eyes and standards of broken men and women, we would ask for real Life and He would fulfill the desires of our heart with the only Completeness that exists… Himself.
“My consciousness of life is threefold what it was: my perception of what is lovely around me, and my delight in it; my power of understanding things and of ordering my way; the same with my hope and courage, my love to my kind, my power of forgiveness. In short, I cannot but believe that my whole being and its whole world are in the process of rectification for me.” -George MacDonald, The Marquis Secret
Jesus said, “The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started.” -John 4:34
Let us feast on His Will, living in obedience to our God of perfect Love and Goodness. I pray we have the courage to not settle for the lesser so that we too may delight in the lovely all around us, grow our understanding, and live full of hope and courage and love and forgiveness. Amen.
