At the end of the reading they repent and trust in his mercy, but they needed to be reminded of his goodness. We too must let those reminders happen in our lives. Where does God show you he loves you in your daily life? Your morning cup of coffee? The sunrise? The sound of your kids giggling? Getting a phone call from a friend? There are many ways that God blesses us everyday, we need only to recognize them and give thanks.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In the Gospel reading, Jesus shows us how to have a relationship with the Father. Jesus says, &#8220;I do nothing on my own, but i say only what the Father taught me.&#8221; What are ways God is teaching us right now? Are we open enough to see what He&#8217;s trying to teach? Are we ready to grow in the ways he&#8217;s asking us to? At the end of the passage it says that many people came to believe in Him by the way he spoke. Do we listen to Jesus in a way that leads us to the Father? Do we do what is pleasing to God? I pray that we continue to draw closer to God, especially in this time when we need him the most.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>God bless! Keep up the good work y&#8217;all!
