Scripture

John 20:27-29   (BSFL*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

People are always looking for signs of My existence. As you and I have discussed before, the earth is full of My glory. The rocks and hills cry out My praises. Every day I am working miracles. Yet still, some to not believe. You are blessed because you have believed.

What I said to God

Blessed indeed! As I was reading the passage of scripture for today, my first thought was that I am no different than Thomas. I have believed because I have seen You. Then I realized that I have not seen You in human form as Thomas saw You. I have only seen You in the signs and wonders that You provide for everyone. Even so, I feel as though You are always here beside me. You are my confidant. The fact that there is no physical body here with me is negligible. You are here. I “see” You with all but my eyes. Every fiber of my being sees You and believes.
