Forgiveness

John 21:22
Jesus answered, If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.

Jesus if my personal jealousy gets in the way of me following you, please rebuke me. I should rejoice that he is surrounded by people who love and care for him. That is what I am doing with my family, why shouldn’t I want that for him? Just pure ignorance on my part. What difference should it make to me how God decides to work his plan. God’s ways are not my way. It is not for me to understand everything. I am to love, take care and feed God’s sheep and lambs. Care for those who can’t care for themselves. As it is written, in our youth we did what we wanted and went where we wanted to go but as we age we will be dressed by others and lead places we don’t want to go. As my mother ages I see that more and more in her. She is sick and refuses to go to the doctor. God help us to convince her of the need to get checked out. Forgive me for my jealousy of a situation that has nothing to do with me and is a blessing for both of them. Help me to heal.
