Words of Jesus

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

John 3:11-12

When it's God Who is speaking … the proper way to behave is to imitate someone who has an irresistible curiosity and who listens at keyholes. You must listen to everything God says at the keyhole of your heart.

— St. John Vianney

Abba, Father, Lord God, I look back at yesterday with some confusion; for I feel interaction with You was real, yet I see that it is only know that I write You in pray as I journal my time with You. Can it be that without though I experienced what I have been asking? Is it that in my shame, You comforted me? Once again I try to limit my questions of You and not asked why, but instead seek how? How can I spend each day this way? How can I capture this experience each day? Is it as simple as accepting I am weak and cannot stop or start own my own? I must be in You and keep You in me. Is it there something I must do; or do I just let it happen. Or is this just to fruit of having surrounded and submersed myself in You and Your word? O Abba, Father, do I fear You or fear letting You down. The consequences are clear, but dark. I want to be all You want me to be in Jesus Christ and seek to please You not fear You; to accept the light, knowing I will stumble and fall, make bad choices and do bad things. But always with You in my heart, always seeking Your forgiveness and always asking Your help and seeking Jesus' image above all. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I pray, Amen.
