If I could just see Jesus, then I could really believe in Him with all my heart, with great faith!! Oh really? Thomas saw Jesus for 3 years and then doubted, even when he saw all that Jesus did! Did you know that there is absolutely no necessity of "seeing" in order to believe fully? Believing fully is the best way to really "see" and know Him deeply. In the book of I Peter 1:8, we read, "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy!" We do and can live by faith, not by sight. Your eyes can only focus on a few things at a time, but close those eyes and "believe." Believe His Word, what you saw in Scripture and then you will see how vast the grace and truth is in Jesus. Step out and joyfully trust Him in all that the Word of God says then you can experience all that He says. God is pleased with faith. You dont have to see Him to know him. You do not have to see the future to know Hes already there! You dont have to see Him receive your prayers by faith you know He does! Youll grow deep by faith; youll stand firm by faith. Youll be filled with joy, as you trust! (See Romans 15:13) Jesus said, "blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!" He will always answer your faith.
Lets Pray: See you tomorrow, |
