John 21:20-22

God will decide when He will bring us home. Our life  glorifies God when we allow Him to be one we love most.


Love God and  put Him  first in your life and He will direct your path.


The truth is Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins so we can inherit a heavenly promised land that is more amazing than anything we can imagine. Even though we face giants today, one day all who have chosen to follow Jesus will step from this life into eternal life, which is promised to all who believe. (1 John 5:11-13)


A life of faith over fear isn't about ignoring what is real. It's about remembering the truth of what we know about God. God is good, kind, merciful, gracious and abundantly faithful. Only by God's grace can we hold to His Truth; otherwise we let the circumstances we see impact the fullness of our faith. First5 


Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."


John 21:20-22

20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” The New King James Version


Jesus tells Peter that he should not be concerned with God’s will for others. Faithlife Study Bible


The disciple whom Jesus loved is commonly considered to be John, the author of this Gospel. 


Peter wanted to know if John too would suffer a violent death. The Lord told Peter that he should be concerned with following God’s will himself and not worrying about God’s will for others. The NKJV Study Bible


Sufferings, pains, and death, will appear formidable even to the experienced Christian; but in the hope to glorify God, to leave a sinful world, and to be present with his Lord, he becomes ready to obey the Redeemer’s call, and to follow Him through death to gloryMatthew Henry’s Concise Commentary


1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.


1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
