Remain Thankful for the Little Things
Being Grateful keeps us young, encouraged and growing toward bigger and greater opportunities. Our Lord builds Trust and understanding through Spiritual-Inspiration; nurturing outreach through His abundant Body-of-Believers. Older folks can offer their experience of Truth, Justice and Diligence that has driven their dreams. When we are young just having a paycheck is gratifying but growing in Faith helps discern how to share the Reality-of-Wisdom for a Sustainable-Future.
God fortifies His children with a multitude of marvels which are inspired by His Holy Spirit; when the Almighty offers His-Living-Words be grateful and experience them to their full potential. A righteous servant will keep moving forward no matter how little or how long it takes to realize God’s plan for their life. Remember there’s a whole lot of Love to Share in a lifetime; our Lord uses every portion to prospect for our Eternal-Salvation.
When Jesus had said this, he raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you, just as you gave him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to all you gave him. Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do. Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began.
“I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them. And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are.
When I was with them, I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth. (John 17:1-19 NABRE)
In this world there are Millions of unresponsive souls because they refuse to recognize the Love-of-God. Our Lord remains kind and merciful in every way. Moe often nowadays His life flows through scripture bits formatted in Jesus’s name; believers are sympathetic to society and open to the free will of one another. God Trusts them because they are thankful to receive and share the Bounty of Christ in all occasion.
