John 17:4 & 22 – 23 (ESV)
4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
People look at the world from many different perspectives. Some only see the good, then there are those who believe that if a cloud is in the sky it is going to rain on them. I know those people and they are correct I do not believe it will rain on me. Maybe they are correct. Some people are contagious in their enthusiasm for life and they infect everyone around them.
Many of have those people are in our lives that are infectious and, in many cases, we are that person to others. I remember before moving to Missouri I had lunch the last day we were in Ohio with a pastor who I had been in an accountability group with. We bounced stuff off each other I enjoyed our conversations. Jeff was the guy I appreciated for his insight, wisdom, and encouragement.
I thought that is how God relates to us He wants to hear from us let Him know how things are going in order that we can be encouraged. All He did for us is an amazing thought. He is enthusiastic for us we should spend more time with Him.
