(Jesus continued) “But now I am going to Him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going? But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.” John 16:5, 6
Lord I sure can identify with these disciples. You were leaving to go back to Your Father. I recently had my friend leave us to go to be with You. Yes we knew where he was going and yet it was a hard time and still is for all of us that knew and loved him. Oh yes, we accepted the fact that he was the one that was better off then we were because he was with You. But …. It still was all very hard to understand and like Your disciples our hearts were filled with sorrow.
And yet Lord….. we all thanked and praised You that we knew where he was.
We thanked and praised You that we would see him again just as we will see You Lord some day when our time comes.
We have been given all these gift because You went to prepare a place for us.
Thank You! Thank You Lord.
