In Christ’s name

I have been thinking about this line from John 14:13 recently “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

This verse is a call to radical surrender. How much do I really trust God to allow him to do everything? How much do I still feel I need to take the bull by the horns and make things happen? How much do I want to be glorified, to look good to others, to accumulate possessions to feel secure?

As I go deeper I begin to allow God to do more and more, to trust that its really Him, and not me, that makes things happen.

 

To God be the glory, great things he has done. Hallowed by thy name (not mine), dear Lord :)

“There is a great secret that beings throughout time have announced, the secret of an extraordinary treasure, the treasure of the nectar of eternal life. It is the nectar of pure beingness, recognizing itself as consciousness and overflowing in the love of that recognition.
If you imagine yourself to be located in a body, then you will move that body from place to place, searching for this treasure of nectar. But, if you will stop all searching right now and tell the truth to yourself, you will know what is known in the core of your bones. You will know what these great beings knew and attempted to describe. You will know it with no image of it, no concept of it, no thought of it. You will know it as that which has eternally been here. And you will know it as yourself.”
