We Know He Exists

John 20:29 (NIV84)

²⁹ Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

If we couldn't see the sun we would still know it was there because of the warmth it gives off and the way we can see everything there is to see around us during the day. In much the same way we know Jesus is real. Though I cannot see Him I know He is there by the warmth He brings to my heart and by the light He shines so I can clearly see everything around me.

Philippians 3:10 (NIV84)

¹⁰ I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

Paul writes wanting to know everything about Christ to include His suffering unto death. This is the real heart of God. How often do we truly seek the heart of God verses what we consider the positives of God? Usually what we seek is for God to bless what we are doing and remove any possibility of suffering, So, how do we claim to seek God's heart and will, when we know it includes trials and tribulation that we constantly pray to be removed? Seek God's true heart and stop trying to get the easy way out.
