Anything?

Are there limits to anything? Who is Jesus giving this promise to? Does this apply to anyone who asks or just certain people??

If you are asking yourselves any of these questions welcome to the club! While simple truths like this fill the Gospel of John when it comes living with understanding it is another thing entirely.

He is the word…but are we listening?

Bread of life but do we give thanks and eat?

Good Shepherd..but will we follow?

Anything in His name but what of His desire and will? And then even when we know God’s will He has chosen prayer as a part of His plan in bringing it to pass. The older I am getting the less I understand all the answers but the more I am learning of the questions He is asking..

No More Tears

Often when I read the 23rd Psalm I think of God being with me in the valley. My mind conjures up a scene of Him walking beside me. Though He is always with us the story the psalmist is telling is that He is our shepherd. A shepherd always goes before the sheep.

Our Shepherd Jesus has gone ahead of us through tears as He wept with his friends. He has gone first through Gethsemane’s sorrow and then Calvary’s suffering. He has gone ahead to the throne with His sacrifice and He waits our arrival with the reward of an eternal life with Him.

That is why He can most tenderly wipe away any tear. There He will heal all disease. He will restore every loss. He will last of all remove even the shadows of death and lead us by the River of the water of Life. What a promise we have and what an amazingly Good Shepherd we follow!
