And I know i am more than the self pity of missing my Daughter, my team mate, my friend, I miss her touch, her smile, The way she let me hold her over my head. I miss her weight upon my shoulders,,,,
,I miss the face of my little girl, And i know i can not see through the door, but I can hope for so much more.
John 14
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.”
And I know it is ok to miss my Daughter my team mate and friend, And then I need to ask God to relieve me of self pity… Then and only then I will know “pity in self” is to drive me out to do something different…. something more….driven out from self to do things different today!
“God, I offer myself to Thee–to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!” Amen
John 14:28-29 (New International Version)
28“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.
John 14:6 (New International Version)
6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
