Jesus said to the Pharisees: "I am going away and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come." So the Jews said, "He is not going to kill himself, is he, because he said, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?" He said to them, "You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins." So they said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "What I told you from the beginning. I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world." They did not realize that he was speaking to them of the Father. So Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him." Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him.
I do nothing on my own… The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him
Lord,
You were God, are God and yet you were subject to the Father. You did not follow your own will, but looked to him to lead you in everything. Your trust was complete. You trusted that even when his will was contrary to your own or even contrary to logic and reason, it was his will and you trusted that whatever it was, it was best for you and the world.
The worst thing that could happen on earth happened to you. The most Innocent human to walk the earth and that most heinous crime against you led to the most beautiful ting on earth, your Resurrection and the freedom and salvation of those who follow you.
Lord, I now that I am never alone, that you are here with me always, even when I do not feel you and when I do not understand the evil and when injustice that comes upon me. Lord, help me to always hold on to that knowledge and faith.
Yesterday was a terrible day where I camped out with evil ones all around me shouting their lies and taunting me and filling me with fear and doubt which lead me into tan anxiety that completely stole my peace. I failed to keep my boundaries up and to keep my eyes on you. I allowed my eyes to drop and look around at all the evil tat wants to steal my soul. The evil that hates me and hates you. I was so weak.
