Go

Mat 21:2 OEBus "Go to the village facing you," he said, "and you will immediately find an ass tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me. - Sent from MySword

The Word became Flesh

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. #Bible

What God had to say to the world was given so perfectly, it had to be given by God's only Son. So perfectly given as to leave nothing out. The Word couldn't be just words, but also actions, and only Jesus the Son of God could carry them out.
The Word was made flesh to give us a taste of the fellowship of God, so Jesus dwelt among us.
What it must have been like to see Jesus in the flesh, especially knowing he is God. Seeing Him in all that He said and did, even Dying on the cross and rising from death, wow that's the Glory of God.
Not only was Jesus full of Grace and Truth, he also distributed it freely and abundantly, ushering those who believe in Him into Righteousness, free to fellowship with God the Father.
This verse like many reminds me of just how little I really know about my God, revealed to me in the Father, Jesus, and especially the Holy Spirit. I hope you like me will search the scriptures, as well as your relationship with God to continually know Him better.

Shalom

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. #Bible

We don't know, but God knows His plans, thoughts, and designs for us. His plans thoughts and designs for our welfare, our completeness, and wholeness. His thoughts are pure and good. God has no evil, bad, dysfunctional, or wrong thoughts towards us.
God only wants the best for us, its what His pure perfect Love demands. He gives us Shalom, which is Jesus.
Shalom is to be in a state of wholeness. Also to restore or make right through payment or restitution. Which is exactly what our Savior Jesus came and did.
To wish Shalom on someone is to desire completeness in their life, Jesus delivered us into this new state of Peace/Shalom with our Father above all father's.
If we strive to understand what our Fathers design or plans for us are, our reaction is to have nothing less than absolute devotion and obedience to Him expressing our Love and gratitude. God is Wonderful, Shalom.

Born Twice

John 3:3 Jesus answered him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. #Bible

Just as one is born into this world in which we live, to see this world, to reside in, and experience this world. You need to be born again into the world of God, or better put, the Kingdom of God.
As there were requirements for existing in this world, so there are requirements for existing in God's world.
In this world we live in a corrupted fallen state existing and reacting to our sins. In the Kingdom of God we react to our heavenly state of God's presence and Blessings where we will be known to be just like Jesus. Jesus our husband, our High Priest, and all that is to come in that state of Holiness.
Yes a place void of sin or any kind of rebellion, because we all want to be there with our God.
The first time we were born into our flesh, this second  time we are born into the Spirit. Beings acceptable to God by way of the sacrifice of Jesus our Savior.
Why would anyone want to stay to the conclusion of this world which is hell?
Ask Jesus to save you to the eternal Kingdom of God our Father. Well our Father for those who are born the second time.

God Hears

Proverbs 15:29 The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. #Bible

God is omnipresent, we don't have to search for Him. We simply have to start speaking to Him, He hears us. I believe even if your not a Christian you can talk to God. If your one of the wicked well good luck.
We need to understand that God sent Jesus to pay the price for our rebellious sins because we couldn't. Gods Love is so great that he even allowed Jesus to suffer death to know us and have a relationship with us. We have been blessed with God's Love, and that's all inclusive. God's Love leaves nothing out, it is perfect. I can hardly wait to experience the full Revelation of His Love in eternity with him, my Father.

Run

Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. #Bible

Exactly, we can't do anything for ourselves or God on our own. It is all by and through Our Lord's Grace. Jesus allows us the privilege to run to Him.
Why would we want to look back at what lies behind, our failures and sins? No, we strain, we struggle, we strive forward to the completion of our Salvation. That's each one of our goals, better yet, its our real life, our Prize.
Yes it is an up hill struggle, we are running away from hell. I bet if we could see through God's eyes, we would be shocked at how close we were at times to hell, and our Lord was saving us then.
But now, we can hear that upward call of God in Christ Jesus, and there is only one direction in this world, and that is towards the Messiah Jesus. The time is shorter than when we first believed for Jesus to return, so keep walking close to God, run if you have to.

Good

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. #Bible

This verse raises a question, is the good all things work together for, for us or God?
If we understand that regardless of what we think, it is God who is the orchestrator, or conductor. We basically are along for the ride. Sure we have our service to perform. We are Christians predestined, and invited into the family of God, and have a purpose for being in this state of existence.
The good here is our comforter the Holy Spirit who assists us in carrying out our service to God the Father. We sinners saved by Grace can't serve God on our own, the Holy Spirit is our success and our sustenance through our trials, persecutions, and tribulations. That is why it is stated in scripture that we are more than conquers in Christ Jesus our Sheppard. So serve fearlessly, in the Joy of the Lord.
