I’ve stood beside a grave when a loved one died and even with all the faith I feel on a good day been filled with doubts. When I need that faith the most, because I want assurance I’ll see my loved one again, my faith fails me the most often.
I’ve got a leaky faith bucket.
Perhaps you’ve struggled with the same thing.
Jesus offered a prayer to comfort his disciples and us.
He prayed, “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see the glory of my kingdom.”
I love that.
One of the last things Jesus did before he was arrested was pray for his disciples and us. That we would live in his kingdom with him forever.
Kind of like wanting your children to be with you where ever you go. There’s nothing better. And with my adult children exhausting.
I find that comforting and liberating.
You don’t need an intermediary. You can simply ask him to let you live with him as his child. Then he prays to the Father for you.
As a Father there’s nothing I enjoy more than to be with my children. Evidently Jesus feels the same.
Now if I can just find that leak.
*John 17:24
