I love to contemplate. I was looking at some TAO teachings and I began recalling about the baptism of Jesus. The baptism event was a profound day. The Heavens spoke that day to the many witnesses there at the riverside. I thought about this in reflection upon the following quotation.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

– Lao Tzu

I must continue to get out of God’s way and
allow myself to go with the flow of His will.

The Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:13-17) NIV

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Thanks for visiting.

When You Believe

God’s Grace is always available
Seek and you will find
Ask and you will receive

Here is the plan
John 3:16-21

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

This is the verdict:
Light has come into the world,
but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Everyone who does evil hates the light,
and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light,
so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done
has been done in the sight of God.

Later in the text, John the Baptist says
“A person can receive only what is given them from heaven.”
