Thoughts on Today’s Verse…

Eternal life begins now! That is one of Jesus’ messages in the Gospel of John (John 5:24). Sure, we don’t get to enjoy all of the blessings that await us when we go home to the Father quite yet, but Jesus wants us to know and to experience his love and the Father’s presence in our lives, NOW! He even prayed this for us in today’s verse! So let’s seek the Father, not just to know about him, but to authentically know and experience him! He longs to draw near to us, make his home in us, and reveal himself to us (John 14:21, 23). He promises to do so as we draw near to him (James 4:8). He is at work in us, so the real issue isn’t his nearness, but our awareness of his presence and work. So, let’s open our eyes and hearts to our Father and ask him to reveal his presence to us as he makes his home in us and we experience the beginnings of eternal life now!

My Prayer…

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 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 Holy Spirit. Open my eyes and heart, dear Lord, that I may know you more fully. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
