It is an incredible day that God created for us. It is so much fun getting out on a winter's day and being kissed by the sun. I thawed out in the sun on the front porch while enjoying the warm temps.
I read today from John 3. There we find Nicodemus coming to Jesus. It is interesting to see what Nicodemus believes about Jesus. Nicodemus basically confesses to believing Jesus to be from God because of the miracles He has performed. In Nicodemus's mind the miracles proved Jesus to at least have some divine power from God. The word that really caught my attention was "performed."
There are so many times that I expect God to prove His love for me by performing some miracle or helping me "feel" something. This is not faith. This is wanting God to write on walls or to do whatever I ask in order to prove Himself to me. God doesn't need to perform anything in order for His love and grace to be any more real. It is merely stepping out in faith and trust that He is good for His word.
But God is faithful...so incredibly, deeply and eternally faithful to who He is. He never tires of us in our places of faithlessness. He just continues to love and patiently display His glory each and every day.
Drink in his lovely gift of today.
