Wednesday May 31

“"Live in me. Make your home in me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can’t bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can’t bear fruit unless you are joined with me.” (John 15:4 Message) 

            As I watched the Gospel of John I was touched by this verse.  As Jesus was saying goodbye to those He would never leave He reminded them that they belonged to Him and He belonged to them!  As they walked this world and heard the venom of the hatred of the world they would know that they were even closed to their Lord!  In the midst of their suffering they would be at home with their Lord who suffered for them.  REMEMBER!!!  My Lord and My Love help me to never forget!!!  Help me hold on for Your “little while”!!!

“So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.” (John 16:22 NLT)

            I hold onto Your promise My Love even as the 10 day review of my disability has turned into 12 and they are still not done!  Even as I see the pain Bonnie and all the family are experiencing and that hurts more than my own!  Help us REMEMBER!  We will see You and we will rejoice!!!

Today I woke about 2AM and was awake until about 7 and slept again until about 2PM.  I am so weary!  I hurt so much.  I am also growing so weary of hurting.  But You My Love are my hope where the root springs forth into the plant of faith and produces the fruit of Your love!
