"If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him." Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" John 14:7-9
Isn't it funny that the words Jesus speaks are plain and yet Philip misses completely what He has said. Standing in front of Him is the Triune God and Philip is blind and deaf. Is your judgement with God face to face going to be a joyous reunion or a standoff trying to figure out who He is. Our time on earth is fleeting and God gives us the opportunity to get to know Him if we would listen. We encounter the same Jesus if we listen and seek Him out.
All the stuff you worry about is nothing, absolutely nothing. Eternity is for ever, do you know God if He was standing in front of you, speaking the truth? That is the purpose of life(to know the Father).
Dear Father God, the lessons You are teaching some days are painful but I do understand why. The attachments are being removed and You are becoming more clearer. Thank You for Your guidance and for speaking plainly. May I praise You in the stuff. Prayers for a friend who is beyond their years, continue to shine Your light through them. Help the blind and deaf see You standing in front of them. Prayers for a friend earnestly seeking You, open His ears. Bless this day Lord, there is work to be done in Your Kingdom, protect us as we enter the day. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Our Blessed Mother, pray for us.
