Wig’s Word of God Today 6-10-2011
“Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You.” (Jesus) said to him, “Feed My sheep.” John 21:17g
Acts 25:13b-21, Psalm 103 & John 21: 15-19
I awake today to the sound of heavy rain and I am reminded how necessary the rain is to every living thing. I reflect on how necessary Jesus is to every living thing as well for through Him everything was created for the good of humanity in some way. God has left a lot of life for us to figure out on our own but not His love, His love is Eternal and stretches beyond the heavens above. The One thing we can count on in life is God’s love to soothe our broken hearts, our lost souls and our ever wondering minds.
We learn that even when we deny our LORD, He stands waiting with open arms of Salvation no matter how many times we deny Him. In the Gospel today Jesus asks Simon Peter not once, not twice but three times if he loves Him. Obviously, Peter recognizes that Jesus is All and knows all and replies, “Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You.” Many believe Jesus is trying make a point here to the Rock He has chosen to build His Church on because of his earlier denial in Jerusalem when Jesus was arrested and he denied Jesus three times before the cock crowed.
There has not been a time for all of us that we haven’t denied Jesus in some sort of way. Not once, not twice, not even three times but more times than you can count and remember. None of us are innocent in of this Truth because we are after all just human but I beg you to look back and recount the times when you were. Each and every time you did what you know God would disapprove of did you run and hide? Each and every time you did what you know God would disapprove of did you think God wasn’t watching? Each and every time you did what you know God would disapprove of did you think, “I know He’ll forgive me.”
We sometimes think these things because of how we were raised in the LORD but a majority of humanity has been left to fend for themselves and that is why we must use our love of loving Christ Jesus to bring them back to His mercy and forgiveness. We must show that we are not perfect and we have sinned but know God has forgiven us by the Blood of the Lamb Who stretched His arms across a Cross and died for our unrighteousness. We mustn’t ever give up sharing this Truth with others to give back the denial we ourselves lived at many points in our life and prove to family and friends, strangers and Jesus Himself that we repent from our actions of denial and accept Him as our LORD and Savior. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear Father God, we pray today we never deny You or Your Son again. We pray today my life-long friend Randy Kautz who will be Baptized this weekend to repent of his past denials and live in Truth for Your Glory. We pray our lives represent a life of saying “yes” void of the word no forever more. e pray today for a police officer named Noel and a Pastor name Richard Smith. We ask this in Jesus Name. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
You Know I Love You- Repenting Need x 3
Breakfast was served of fish
He showed Himself to see
Love My Words of truth
Simon Peter was asked to see
Son of John, Do you love me?
His love was thought to be known
Over and over again He admitted
Yes, my heart has always shown
Even in denial as the cock crowed too
My love for You is Eternal
A passing fright You see
My love for You will always truly be
Insistently Christ asked if the love is true
Peter retorted my love is through and through
Feed not only my lambs
But feed each and every sheep too
Asking once more, “Peter do you love me?”
Distressed he has been asked again
“Lord, You know everything,” knowing that I do
Feed my sheep Eternally by My Church you build to prove
Once you were young
Walked about with ease
Growing old someone will help you
With My Truth guiding you appease
