Wow it has been a long week and it is only Tuesday. Sure could use alittle bit of light from the word this morning. We have had issues in our family that I never thought would occur, Doctor visits and not hearing exactly what we wanted to hear. I find myself reaching for the hem of Jesus' robe but really want to crawl up into His arms and stay there. My heart is heavy and my mind is racing.
Chapter 16:
4 I need help again!! What is the sign of Jonah?? (HELP)
8-12 I am so much like the disciples... I still don't get it today...
18 I would love to be called Peter (the rock) although after reading the whole chapter I am not sure He means rock as a good thing. Maybe hard headed>>>
20 this verse really bothers me.... Are we still living by this?? Are we believing not to tell anyone??
23 Peter goes from being the rock to satan in 5 verses???
from The Message:
24-26Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?
