You Have Me

It has been such a long time. Life has been so busy- The thorns and weeds- And maybe even some other good fruit- Has grown up around my writing and choked it out. You remember Jesus parable about the cares and concerns of life...... Choking out the Gospel- Well I feel a little like that with my writing. Oh, don't get me wrong- I am not saying my blog is on par with the Gospel- But it is certainly a good thing for me..... And maybe a good word for a few others as well. Busyness just seems to have swallowed it up. Anyway................. I have missed writing, so a moment to bang the keyboard is a blessing. It gives me a sense of connection with you 2 or 3 who might take the time to read this........ For that I am grateful.

"You feed them" Jesus said.

"But we only have these 5 loaves and 2 fish" came the response.

The density of these men is only matched by my own.

"Bring them to Me" Jesus answered

and well...........

You know the rest of the story right?

How many times has Jesus told me to do something only to have me dismiss Him.

I can't do that-

I only have...............well,

I only have Jesus.......... I only have Jesus.........

Do you hear the absurdity as you read the words?

I spend far too much time walking around like I only have a little bread and fish-

Yet the Truth is.......

I have Christ Himself in me.

I don't know what you or I will deal with today or tomorrow- But it doesn't really matter does it? Jesus has said to us right along with His Disciples on that hillside on that day a couple thousand years ago...........

Bring whatever you have to Me..........

And always remember....... you have

Me!

Amazing..........

Let's live from that today and see what a difference it makes in our lives

Father,

Forgive me where I walk around feeling powerless-

Holy Spirit

Please open me to the Power you have placed in me-

Give me a sense of the Truth of Christ in me

So that I live from that today and everyday.

Jesus,

Thank You that You are in me-

The Bread of Life that is all Sufficient.

Amen.
