"You believe at last!" Jesus answered. "But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."-John 16:31-33.
I really needed to hear this. What I got out of this is this. I have gone scatterbrained many times lately. To a point where it bothers me because I can't stay focused. I have so many things on my mind, everything is overwhelming. I mean, come on. It's high school. Crap happens. But this really got to me. I'm leaving my Jesus alone. I don't want that. ever. He is God in the flesh. When I sin, He knows. He forgives me and loves me still. When I sin, I am leaving Jesus alone. Jesus doesn't want to be alone. He wants all of me. and I'm holding back. I'm tired of holding back. It's going to STOP. I find peace in this like it says. He's telling me this so that I give Him everything, every part of me. My scatterbrain and all. He is saying that I am going to have trouble. The world is full of trouble. No one said having a relationship with Him was going to be easy. I want to please Him in every way that I possibly can. When there is trouble, I am going to look more toward Him and seek the love and mercy He has for me. He has overcome the world. Praise God.
I don't know if this will make any sense to whoever is reading this. It is just my way of getting my thoughts out. I probably am confusing but it makes sense to me. and this is my first one. I'm using this as a journal. to clear out my scatterbrain.
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the place where I am going." -John 14:1.
