Praise in two loaves

 Consider this:


Jesus and his disciples, did not healed everyone, did not feed everyone, and did not bring testimony to everyone.


The Father set before them those who were meant to be witness to the authority of His chosen on and through the chosen one, the time his disciples had which was the great commission.


Today, people pray for their nations, people pray for the poor, people pray for the homeless, for wars to end, for epidemics to fade. People pray for an end to suffering that is set upon the living through the Father's purpose.


These and all selfless prayers are petitions and are good. But, what is it to pray for generalities and ignore the specifics? People pray for the epademic to end, so life can return to what they considered normal, which is to say, their will. People pray for victory over their enemies, on both sides of a conflict. People pray for the homeless but increase the rent they charge their tenants. People pray for the hungry, yet feed themselves first.


Generalities led to hypocrisy. Specifics should always be considered first. People should be praying for the strength to love their enemies, no matter the outcome. People should be praying for faith to be increased, so that what is causing them fear, loses its hold. People should be praying thanks for the holy states of love, acknowledging that it is these perfect fruit that bring about holy acts through them.


Jesus did not feed everyone, nor was it the Father's will that he would. Instead Jesus went into every moment seeking to do the will of the Father. Whatever is the Father's purpose, the living are able to manifest loving states to praise it. Raising the loaves above our head in thanks for the opportunity to serve in loving ways.


Consider this.
