He said to him the third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter felt hurt
because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know
everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep."
One of them turned to the other and said, "Isn't this wonderful?"
The other replied, "Yes, and to think we could have gotten here ten years sooner if we hadn't
eaten all that oat bran."
God has so many blessings to pour out on all of us. He asks us to sit down and receive what He
has to give. What He has to give, He gives with extravagance. As Paul once wrote, But, as it is
written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has
prepared for those who love him"
(John 2.17
NRSV)
I am reminded of two fellows who died and were walking the golden streets of God's celestial
realm. There was more beauty and more splendor and more joy there than they had ever
dreamed imaginable.
Dear God, I love you very much, and I am very grateful for all of your blessings. Amen.
