John 6:21

"Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going." John 6:21

Willingly received, causes immediate results.

John 6:11-13

This is the story of when Jesus fed the five thousand with just a few fish and loaves of bread.

Father, You made what they had enough! You took the little they ha as they prayed with thanksgiving over it and you made it do they could each have as much as they wanted!

And Jesus goes on and says, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost." What a beautiful display of the heart of Christ. I am amazed by just these few words. Savior, You gather up the fragments that remain so that nothing is lost. You see every aspect of all the hurt and broken hearts in this life and You gather them all to Yourself.

Beautiful Savior, Wonderful God.

His Righteousness 3/13/2012

"As I hear, I judge; and My judgement is righteous." John 5:30

Father, You are righteous and so, your judgements are righteous. Praise You for sending us a Redeemer who sympathizes with our utter weakness and intercedes on our behalf before you. He hears Your voice and so, we also, hear Your voice. He says "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work." It was Your will that He would come and die in our place, an it was Your work that was done on the cross to make us whole again. It was His very sustenance to do what You had called. All of this is ours. It is our fullness of peace, fullness of Spirit and fullness of joy to do Your will. This was the way You meant it to be from the beginning.

You breathe in to us and the places that were once filled with sin are alive again with righteousness!

I am only right outside knowing the fullness of how awesome You are, only just now catching the glimpse of Your righteousness in full, but Father, You offer so much, You offer deeper still as I seek to find Your face and all Your righteousness.
