I feel the need sometimes to pick scriptures from different chapters to show similarities. These are ones I found this morning and earlier this week. I feel if I could get to a place where Jesus is all I need than life would be better. Sometimes I just think about myself and don't think much of it. It can make life complicated if I try to add more to my life than what I need. Here is my proof.
If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever- the Spirit of truth. The world can not accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. (John 14:15-19)
Though Jesus had to enter heaven and we can not see him here on earth he loves us so much as not to leave us alone but to give us the Holy Spirit to be with us. How is it that He cares so much when I have messed up at times, it's just amazing and hard to understand but that is how He works.
Jesus is a physician because he heals. I can find verses on his miracles sometimes in my reflections too later on. This is what he came to do. On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinner." Matthew 9:12-13
If I admit I am not always perfect and wonder off then I need help and Jesus has come to help me. Sometimes I get sick and he provides what I need to get better. Also he has come to clense us of our sins and it is another way of saying to not sin any more. God loves us so much he wants us to admit when we need healing. We can heal from our hurts by turning to him. When we let life get too carried away and then our hearts suffer he wants us to turn back to him for healing and comfort. Like I said in my last reflection if he wasn't kind caring and gentle he wouldn't have done so much for us. I am honnored to be one of his.
One more verse that I really like it "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 So in John 14: 15-19 and Matthew 9:12-13 are some of those ways he proves that. There is no garantee that a walk with God will be an easy one. I wish I had kept my life alot more simple in the past. If I can get around all of those mountains God must think more of me than I do. I need to get into better thinking habbits that I can do more than I realise. I just wish I could change a few things but I better pray about those and not wonder off my path again. It is so easy to feel defeated and to not keep trying. It is so hard to see Christ as the ultimate provider when wecan't see him. I have hope in the Spirit that He hasn't left me alone completely. My direction and purpose will come to me one day I jsut know it.
