The Will of the Father

Hi everyone. I am still here and have had a bit of a shift of schedule since the first of the year. I use to prepare my blog posts during the early morning hours and my quiet times have shifted focus through the Lord's promptings. Plus the Haeussler house has had a rigorous schedule with the kids in every imaginable activity. (Speaking of busy...here is a shot of my oldest daughter, Aimee, at a volleyball tournament in Arizona.) But in any event, I still have a heart for our trek through John. I am getting to know Jesus and who He is like never before. It is a slow trek through John, but I have been blessed by it. He is in charge and I'll follow Him. I look forward to continuing to post as He leads.

We left off in John 6 and we'll take a look at verses 35 to 40 and give particular focus to verse 38 " For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Who sent Me."

Every so often I go on business trips, as many do. I go on the trips for a specific business purpose. A few weeks ago I just returned from a trip to our project in Branson, Missouri. There is alot to do and see in Branson...water skiing, fishing, shopping, restraurants, a theme park, shows...etc. If I went for myself, I would do a lot of those things. But I went on this trip to be in a meeting, meet people working at our project, interviewed people, strategized with staff and inspected the property. Without my focus on the reason why I was there, my trip to our project in Branson would be futile and my company would have wasted money on the trip.

Jesus knows the purpose of His visit to earth....to do the will of the Father. He know if He doesn't follow that will, many will never see the point of His visit.

Jesus was here to show us how to live. A life filled with purpose and focus is one that will accomplish much. If your purpose is to do the will of Jesus, you will be part of one of the most focused and productive purposes for life...ever! Jesus has done the will of the Father. He was here on earth only 30 plus years, with only 3 years in public ministry. His focus on the Father's will has caused us to still be wanting to know what He did over 2,000 years later. What an impact! Jesus and His purpose needs to be at the core of my life, if I want it to have and impact as well.

Dear Jesus, Le me fold into your purpose of doing the will of the Father. I want my life to have an impact. Let me hear from you what my next steps need to be today. Amen.
