John 7:28 – “I am not here on my Own”
Do we think this way? Jesus’ mission was so defined as He went along that He understood at every moment that He was not “here on His own” but He was here on behalf of the Father. How significant it would be for God’s people to have this same attitude and understanding that we too, are not here on our own, but on Jesus’ behalf.
Rarely are we thinking in this manner though. Much of the time we’re thinking about our mission, our vision, our goals. Our hearts are not really open towards what Jesus’ is focused on. When God starts doing things in our lives to direct us in His plan, we get stressed and think the world is coming to an end — rather, the great things are just beginning. If only we could be focused as Jesus’ was — we are not here on our own.
