3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. Eternal life begins, now! That is one of Jesus' messages in the
Gospel of John. For sure, we don't get to enjoy all of the
blessings that await us when we go home to the Father. But, Jesus
wants us to know, to experience, his love and the Father's presence
in our lives, now! He even prayed it for us! So let's seek the
Father; not to just know about him, but to know him! He longs to
draw near to us and will do so as we draw near to him! He is at
work in us, so the real issue isn't his nearness, but our awareness
of his presence and work. Let's open our eyes and our hearts to our
Father, and ask him to reveal his presence to us!
It amazes me, Heavenly Father, that you let me approach you, the
Almighty and Holy God. I am humbled by your promise to be at work
in my life. Forgive me for the times that I have been so full of
myself that I have not acknowledged your presence and grace. Make
me more aware of your providential care and your daily presence in
me through your Spirit. Open my eyes and heart, dear LORD, that I
may know you more fully. In the name of Jesus. Amen. |
