 God With Us

😊 Happy Wednesday 

It is the middle of the week and the middle of the month. Jesus did the work of the Lord every day. It was not always easy dealing with everyone, but I bet the good outweighed the bad and most importantly I am happy he loved his work. I love my job Wednesday. I am not sure the perfect job exists but one thing I know God places where we are the most effective. I love what I do. It comes with good, and it comes with not so good things. (Guess what!) That's NORMAL nothing on this earth is perfect. Even the people who look like their job is perfect. It's not. The devil tries to get us to focus on the things we dislike in order to get us to leave but if you get up every day and go do what you love to do (you win). The good still outweighs the bad and it will be a great day! It will not get better if you give up. So today, I love and appreciate my job because it's okay to have things you really love and things that not so lovable. 

We have been looking at the Words of Jesus 

1. He teaches

2. He warns

3. He forgives

4. He definitely makes the religious groups angry. He seems to be very forgiving. He does not beat up on people. He does not deem them unworthy or sentence them to death because they are sinners. He helps them out of sin and there is a big difference. 

Matthew 16

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Have an awesome day!
