Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 14:8-9<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you see the Father when you look at Jesus?
\nOur Father is the creator of the universe.
\n<\/a>
\nSometimes we see the loving, caring Jesus but we have a difficult time seeing the Father God who reaches down to touch us through Jesus.
\nIs it perhaps because our own earthly father did not treat us with unconditional love?
\nIs it because we felt abandoned by our dad and we believe God will abandon us too?
\nIs it because we never knew our biological father?
\nRemember Jesus and the Father are ONE.
\nJesus only did what the Father told him to do.
\nAll the unconditional love we see in the caring and nurturing Jesus who went to the cross on our behalf is the Father love of God too.
\nI pray you will see the Father.
\nSEE is a theme for me this week. Yesterday in my Bible study we talked about how God sees us for who we really are and loves us. He sees our tears and even stores them for us. He sees our potential.
\nHe sees YOU.
\nI do too. I see you reaching out and grabbing his hand.
\nGod bless your heart.
\nGigi
