John 14:6, “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
Lord, we are always looking for direction. And too often
always bewildered in our purpose. We ask for affirmation, confirmation, and
certification. You gently remind, “It is Me.” And we reply, “but how?”
You give us Yourself and instead we look for concrete steps
to follow. You offer a relationship and we look for a plan. Or a program or a specific
task to measure and to accomplish.
Why? Because if our human relationships are so difficult
then we expect one with You will be beyond our ability? Which is true on our
part and yet not on Yours.
I don’t understand why we who look so longingly at love reject
Your way. Or try to manufacture our own version. Instead we hesitate, question
or mock. Such a gift must have strings attached. It’s too personal. Don’t we
have to become special first?
Help me Lord to lower my false defenses and trust in Your
love for each one of us individually and wholly. That we might abide in true
relationships heart first. Trusting Your words completely.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 119:160
“The sum of Thy word is truth,
And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting.”
