John 8:51-59
Jesus said to the Jews: "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death." So the Jews said to him, "Now we are sure that you are possessed. Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, 'Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.' Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be?" Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, 'He is our God.' You do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. But I do know him and I keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad." So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM." So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.

Lord,
Jesus spoke the truth, you spoke the truth and they hated you for it. I see this over and over. You keep showing me this over and over.
I understand the message. I know what it means for me. I have to do the same. Speak the truth without fear and when the stones come flying at me, walk away. I have to walk away without feeling like a loser, without feeling defeated. It looks as though you were defeated right an dleft but in your humility you accepted what came and moved on.
I wonder if the thought of it ever crossed your mind again after you moved on. Your mission was too important for you to dwell on the defeats and rejections.
Lord help me e strong. Help me let go of the defeats, the rejection, the judgments, my judgments of others and of myself. Help me conquer the fear that surrounds me and renders me frozen, unable to move, unable to take the needle off the stuck record. Help me o just turn it off.
I have, but the tune is still running in your head. How do you get rid of a tune that keeps playing in your head? You replace it with another one. That is what Barbara has been telling you. Put my words on your record player and let them penetrate, resonate, allow them to consume your thoughts. Yes you are in a better place then you have ever been before, but you must fill the spaces in your head that have become vacant and wants to return to the familiar sounds. Resist. Your heart is filled. It is full of my love for you and your love for me, so focus on filling your head with me now.
