"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now." Jn 16:12
How many ways can God tell us of his love? God promises Abraham that he will be the Father of many nation and assures Moses that he will free the Jews from slavery in Egypt. Even when the Jews fail to live the Covenant and reject God's ways, God does not turn away, especially when there are believers who, despite the cost, remain faithful.
What more can God promise or tell us? What can Jesus mean when he says he has so much more to tell us? The answer is simple but, perhaps because of our own selfishness, difficult for us to believe. God's desire for us is more than we can imagine. God wants to live with us forever, no matter how we turn away or seek worldly acclaim.. God wants us to be at peace and happy for eternity. We have only to accept the gift and live generously for others.
Today, take a few minutes to imagine God's love for the world.
Who is the most generous person you know? Have you thanked them recently?
