John 19:25-28, 21:24-25 - Not enough books!

At that time, standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

 There are not enough books in the world that contain all the words that document the things which Jesus has done.  If every deed, every act and every attainment were to be committed to paper, then the world would be full of books! In my own life, this is true.  Even when I am not paying attention, the good deeds of Christ abound in my life.  Oh, Lord, help me to view everything in my life with an eye to finding the workings of the Lord, for surely You are working. Your Grace and Love abounds all around me, if only I would see it!
