Getting to where we are going

Getting to where we are going


Jn. 14: 5-6
Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, [we heard what You just told us about Your Father's house, and that You’re going there to prepare a place for us - but we still don’t understand]

so how can we know the way?  [how do we get to where You want us to be?]

Jesus said to him,

I am the Way [the leader in the road, the guide to the wandering, the teacher of the ignorant, and the example to all]

and the Truth [most complete and perfect representation of things as they really are]

and the Life; [the totality of man's pursuit of relationship with God]

no one comes to the Father [to obtain His favor or to have access to His throne]

except by Me. [the only Mediator between God and man]
-------------------------------

Pray the Word:
Lord, our greatest difficulty in receiving and understanding Your plain and unmistakable guidance for our life is for the reason that our mind is full of opposite opinions and plans, occupied with errors and vanities, wanting things to go our way. Help us to be able to lay aside our previous opinions and be willing to receive the truth . . . then, we will know where to go from here.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
