What you need is close to you

Be in your place and have God`s sight

In Matthew 14.15, the disciples suggested Jesus to send the multitudes away, that they could go into the villages and buy themselves food after His speech because they didn`t have what to eat and if it were late they wouldn`t find a place to eat either, thus, people would starve. They brought Jesus the problem Becoming aware of the problem, Jesus said that none of those people needed to retire. Migrants are people coming out from where they are to achieve something better. You don't have to leave where you are to receive something better, stay where you are, it is on your side what you seek, you simply can't see. The disciples insisted that the people needed to leave to get resource that was far away, but Jesus advised them to stay. On another occasion, several disciples considered the preaching of Jesus as something heavy and they left. He then turned to the twelve and asked if they would leave, too, and Simon Peter said: where do we go, God, if it is the Lord who has eternal life?

To your victory is of your hand, as Simon stated. It's customary for humans, homo sapiens, the animal usually get what you want away, believe is far which is your victory, but forgets that it's closer to Jesus who is the solution.

Naaman wanted healing and, when he got behind the Prophet, rather than a ceremonial or a tribute, found himself with a helper on the gate of the site, with instructions of the Prophet without even the view. Naaman resisted and retired outraged, spitting Hornets, because it was easy and man is terrible, if it's easy, no good, only pay if it is expensive. It was a subordinate one, humbler probably because of the position, which probably made Naaman stop to think. He came and asked: If the Prophet ordered someone to do something difficult, wouldn't you? But as it was something simple, there was contempt. You often pass alongside blessings and despises. The solution is on your side; you have your vision and give value. The solution for the disciples, hearing from Jesus that they would need to feed the crowd, they found a boy with five loaves and two fish. Jesus multiplied, divided, delivered to the disciples and everyone ate. The boy with the five loaves and two fish wasn't far away, he was on their side, but they couldn't see him. The secret is not to look for difficult things, detailed things, but it's your rice and beans, so simple thing that you can't see. Moses ascended the Hill desperate to ask God what to do and God asked him what he had in his hands, asked for him to catch what it was, which was a stick and to tell people what to do. The solution is in your hands. The things you want most are close to you and you don't know. When the Prophet arrived to help that widow who was about to die due to starvation, He asked her what she had at home. She said she had the bottle of olive oil and the miracle was made with that tank and oil. The widow couldn't see that the solution could come from there. When the person doesn`t have vision, her own mind blocks victory. No matter where you go, because you're the place. Where you put your feet, with the vision that God gives you, you will win what you want. You need to see the solution to win it. The best moments of your life, your best memories are of when you went away and spent a lot of money or when you were at home or in the family house, close and unusual places? The best food was the special one or it was the closest, simple food that it was near you? Things that make you happy are near you. The solution of your problem is near you, your better half is close to you. The restoration of your sentimental life is close to you, your salvation is near you. The main issue is who can see and who can't see. While Jesus was crucified, there were two robbers, one on each side. One of them saw the God, not another one. This I saw found place in the Kingdom of God, and the other poor, found the doom. You need to have vision.
