John 6:26-27 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval." I wonder why I look for Jesus, deep down. I know I look for him because of what he can do for me. I struggled with this not too long ago in another post. Do I love him because of what he has done or because of who he is? Can I ever hope to separate the two. I think I would follow him no matter what my circumstances, but would I be following waiting for him to rescue me? Can I say like Brother Lawrence, it is enough to praise him, even if I go to Hell, it would have been enough? I think I work for both foods, that that spoils and that that is eternal. ______________ Yesterday I told the boys that the hurricane coming has been changed to a tropical depression. #1 wanted to know why they call it a depression. I tried to explain, but his answer made more sense. "They ought to call it a Hooray! because you are glad the hurricane isn't coming."
