I prayed time I was walking up a upland in Glorieta, New Mexico. As I reached the summit, I meditated on John 21:15-17 where Jesus asked Peter if he beloved Him. How would I answer that question?
Do you be passionate about Me? "I abide by you, Lord, so I essential be keen on you."
Do you be keen on Me? "I listen to you when you mouth to me."
Do you be mad about Me? "I don't cognize how."
I had not loved God as I should: beside all my heart, and beside all my soul, and with all my strength, and next to all my mind; and my neighboring as myself, as skilled in Luke 10:27. I cried a while and asked God for His grounding in the strip of adulation.
As I started set the mountain, I walked a bit too close up to a get weaker woody plant and my body part snapped off a offshoot. I was amazed at how brickly it was. But not all the branches were that way. Those that static had beingness in them were bendy and tender. Then I noticed that the branches lacking vivacity had been bedraggled and were not stably related to the woody plant. It reminded me of Jesus' linguistic unit in John 15 where He says, "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears overmuch fruit; for unconnected from Me you can do zero. If a person does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up." As I continue in Him, God's liking can infuse me and cause me protective. Then I larn not lone how to friendliness God, but too how to friendliness others.
