4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him,objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you,[c] but you will not always have me.”
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.
Father
I'm so spent
Why does my heart care
So damn much
Why do I feel
So stupidly strong
About what is right
And what is wrong
Is this worldly condemnation
Is this how it's supposed to be?
Is this carrying my cross
Will this last - eternally?
Oh look to the ant you sluggard!
Then weep at your sin
And look to the cross
I must become less
Trusting you, You will become more
Because You Are.
All that's fair and true and worth fighting for
You are the Truth
Only You truly set us free
So what they are seeking
What we all crave
Is to be with you
But where are you now?
In better public systems?
In romantic relationships?
Fun? Travelling? "Giving back"
You tell us where you are,
and so you have.
15“If you love me, keep my commands. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will bec in you.18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” John 14:15-21

What a comfort to know, I am in you and you in me.

Lonely no more :)

I have calmed and quieted my soul
Like a weaned child with its mother
Like a weaned child is my soul within me
Psalm 131 on that dangerous road to Jerusalem for the festivals
O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
from this time forth and forevermore.
