Week 14 - The Journey Day 2
"Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit." John 3:5-6
Seeds of faith. As we ponder God's word and grasp what God is saying to us in it, there is more than meets the eye. Jesus born of a woman did not reveal His true nature to the world until He revealed the spirit when He was born of water. We know very little of Jesus's life prior to His baptism in the Jordan when the Holy Spirit rested upon Him. It was then that He began what we read.
Grasping how the Holy Spirit operates isn't easy, hard to explain but you understand when you understand. Nicodemus was at the Masters feet listening and trying to understand with the flesh, not really grasping what was being told to him. But God had given him the seeds of faith so in the future he would know that he knows. For some you get it for others, like Nicodemus, you don't quite get it.
Resting in the Spirit and trusting, God plants the seeds, He waters it and when the time is right He reveals His message even if it is only a few words.
What is God saying to me? You be faithful to me and I will be faithful to You. I will always be faithful to you, the only difference is, you will recognize it. Otherwise the mind becomes occupied with things of the flesh and miss out on the spirit.
Dear Father, You are faithful God always providing an insight that at first is unseen. You are loving Father and I am an obedient son as best as I can. Thank You Father for another morning in Your glory. I ask for this same insights today as life comes at us, to sit and just be with You. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, House of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of Holy Church, Pray For us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
