"The Son to a Brother!"

"Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home." (John 19:27 KJV)

  "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters," (Romans 8:28-29 NLT)

 Here is the thing, regardless of the mess, circumstance, or impossible odds, God has the ability to make all things wonderful and complete! Even if we don't think it will work out, when it looks like it will never get fixed, and you feel like you're at the end of your rope, God can do abundantly more than you could have ever imagined! 

 There are so many different ways to see this, most of which require a heart that has surrendered, saying, 'I tried to do it my way, but my way doesn't work; please take control of my life!' Hopefully you see the point, as simple as it might sound, we continually fight to hold onto the things we love, hoping God will bend a little. 

 Unfortunately! He can down to our level once and for all! Now, we must go to His level, because He has made the way for us to do it! 'Thank you, Jesus! You have not only given me new life, but you have made me a child of God! I have a multitude of brothers and sisters, too many to count; what glory awaits me, because I belong to the Family of God!'

 Nothing about this life here on earth can change that! We must believe and take hold of that, no matter what! You might say, 'But I really screwed up my life, there is no way God will forgive me!' You have no idea what you are trying to say; because He took everything under submission on that cross; there is nothing you can do, that He did not give His life for; absolutely nothing! 

 When He judges this world, those that have accepted His free offer of forgiveness, will not be listed among those who have sinned, no matter what that sin was, it has been removed, and you will have been made, as white as snow! If you do not receive His free offer to be forgiven, there will be no excuse, because there is no reason! 

 About this disciple, we should all be in agreement that the disciple is John; so, we can also understand the friendship that was between Jesus and him. I am pretty sure that Jesus loved His mother, very much; even though He might have said some things to make her common, there was still a bond that could not have been broken. 

 Though she had other sons, and daughters, I believe that Jesus knew John would care for her the most, as well as the longest. There is really nothing that God overlooks, everything is a concern for God when it comes to our needs; our wants, that is an entirely different subject...

"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow - not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below - indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39 NLT)
