Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter – John
14:1-6
Today Jesus tells his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be
troubled.” Take a moment and check the condition of your heart. Is your heart
troubled in any way? If so, about what are you concerned or worried? Have you
taken your concern to Jesus? What are you holding in your mind and heart?
Jesus tells us to have faith in God and also to have faith
in Him. Do we truly have faith in God, Jesus, and the Spirit? If so, how deep
and real is our faith? Do we truly believe that Jesus is with us every moment
of our day? Is our faith a “daily” faith? Or do we have a “Sunday” faith? Do we
have a personal relationship with Jesus or do we turn to Jesus only when we are
struggling and have a need?
Jesus longs for us to come to Him, to turn to Him. He longs
to have a deeply personal relationship with us. Jesus loves us and desires to
be in communion with us. Perhaps we need to ask ourselves: how great is my
desire to be in communion with Jesus? Jesus longs to strengthen us and grace us
but we have to have open minds and receptive hearts to Him and His presence.
Today may we take any troubles, concerns or fears that we
have to Jesus. Jesus will walk with us, strengthen us, heal us and gladden our
hearts. Jesus truly is our “Way, Truth and Life.” The question for us is: will
we choose to walk daily with Him? He is waiting for us!
