Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” (John 6:28-29 NIV)
Never paid attention to this before, Jesus!! What is this!!! The work of God is to simply believe in you??
THIS IS ALL I HAVE EVER REQUIRED OF YOU. THIS THE ONE NECESARRY THING. THE REST ARE UNNECESARRY. I AM HERE TO GIVE YOU COMFORT AND HOPE. WILL YOU FOLLOW ME? ONLY I HAVE THE BREAD OF LIFE. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GO? IN THAT CASE, STAY WITH ME. AND THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT YOU BELIEVE IN ME AND STAY WITH ME.
THIS IS SO SIMPLE. IT IS NOT HARD WORK. IT IS NOT HARD LABOR. IT IS TO BELIEVE IN ME. YOU ALREADY DO THIS. YOU ARE ALREADY PERFORMING THE WORKS OF GOD. THE REST IS EXTRA. STAY WITH ME, DOING THE WORK OF GOD.
This really spoke to me Lisette. We tend to lose sight of this and buy the lie that it’s all up to us. Thanks for the reminder.
It was like a “what is this!!!” moment for me. haha. You’re welcome. I love what HE is speaking today too. Maybe I post later….
Looking forward to it!
