Do not let your hearts be troubled

Jn 14:1-6 Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
The way the truth, the light is Jesus. With love and faith in the Lord there is no reason for my heart to be troubled. I trust that I will be given a place in the house of my Father in heaven. There is no other path in life no other reason for my purpose and my being but to rejoice in the Lord and the truth and the way that is the light in my life. I am not dependent on things or self beliefs or people... the love of God comes before all and gives life and light and love to my being that is without limit. There is no greater life than to be a disciple and believer in the way of Christ and live with my eyes set on the kingdom with care and tenderness for those who are in my midst on this path. There is no enemy in this life only the temptation to be anything but loving. God is the fountain of all that never fails to quench my souls innermost true needs.

My hand is set on the plow and I will not turn my head and ruin the straight furrow that is on the path that God has called me to.
