Where Would I go ?

   Another promise of a glorious day ! Hurry snow and melt away  !

My devotions this morning found me in the Book of John where Jesus is losing many of his followers as they just can't get their head around how this man who is the son of local folk that many know can be talking about coming from Heaven and being the only one that can provide them with the bread of life and all the talk about having to eat of the flesh and blood just is way too much to comprehend . But perhaps the real problem is they are using their heads instead of what their hearts are telling them. They had seen all the miracles He had performed and most of what He said stirred up deep feelings within but accepting the Heaven Jesus and the Earth Jesus was the straw that broke the camel's back and I'm sure broke Jesus's heart.
Later on Jesus asks His band of twelve disciples if they are planning to best the feet also and I just love Simon Peter's response :"Lord ,to whom shall we go ?"

Peter's answer led me to write :
   
    "To whom shall I go to find a love so complete ?
      A total understanding and all my needs will meet ?
      Who will walk beside me when the path becomes too hard ,
      And pick me up and carry me if I cannot go another step?
       Only to You Jesus ,My Savior and My God."

     "  Where would I go but to the stable dark?
          And climb to the hill to the cross heavy and stark ?
         Where would I go but to the empty tomb
         And see that Jesus rose and won over death's doom?
          Only to You Jesus ,My Savior and My God ."

      "  There is nowhere else for me to go
         When fears and hurt descend .
         Only to your  comforting arms
         And  a love that will never end ."
