I just work here

I was reading this morning in John chapter 5 and noticed that Jesus said he can ONLY do what the Father gives Him to do. Jesus placed limitations on himself, but is that really limiting at all? Imagine if you could ONLY do what the Father gave you do. All of your energy was devoted to accomplishing your God given mission in life and there was no time wasted on things that mattered only to you. You would be freed from the perceptions of others and you would no longer be limited by your own fears. You would know that what the Father gave you was a worth while task and worthy of you time and attention. Imagine feeling as if you life matters becasue you are pursuing what you were meant to be and do as the Father let you in on what to do next.

I guess the saddest thing is that this life is available to those who are willing to be "limited" by doing only what the Father gives them to do.
