John 12:21 NIV They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.”
I woke up today with those words running through my mind, “Sir we want to see Jesus.” Those men were actually looking for Jesus to the point they were asking for an introduction. We have probably all been introduced to Jesus already but are we seeking to find Him in our every day lives, in the ordinary as well as the spectacular, because He is in it all, waiting to be found. Or do we only see Him in church and put Him in a Sunday box? - I hope not.😊
We know it’s easy to see Him in the glorious sunset or sunrise, or to see Him in the little bee that’s burrowing a hole at the minute in our grass, to lay its eggs - quite amazing! But do we see Him at the ironing table where we have the time to chat with Him over ironing the shirts? Do we see Him in the supermarket helping us to choose our shopping?
Can we find Him in those moments when we’re very tired and know He’s there to strengthen us, helping us to keep going or telling us it’s time to let it all go and have some rest?
Can I invite us all today, to ‘see Jesus’ in everything we do, wherever we go, and enjoy His presence because in His presence there is fullness of joy and I think we could all do with some of that, all the time.(Psalm 16:11). Let Him bring a lightness to your spirit, even when things are tough.
Have a blessed weekend as you see Jesus in it all.x
It's amazing how Jesus is available to us, all the time . Thank You Lord for guiding and correcting us!
