He saw you!

Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." John 1:48  

Oh Lord, open my heart to receive your answer when I ask you: How do You know me?

The same way you saw Nathanael under the fig, the very exact way you see me.

Your eyes are on me. You don’t only see me, but you are present with all your fullness.

Oh Lord Enlarge my heart, open my eyes and my mind to understand the scriptures more and more, so I can confess and say every time: I have found the Messiah! I have found whom my soul loves, I have found Him and won’t let Him go! You are my treasure, Lord.

Jesus, you are the very substance of The Father, the exact representation, the reflection of His love, of His tenderness, of His full heart towards me, the very radiance and beauty of Him,

Oh Jesus show me more of You, to know more The Father.

To experience the same love He has for you. 

Jesus, Show me the Father!

You call me by my name every time, You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

You are the Messiah! You are the King!

You search out my path and when I rest; You are aware of all my ways.

Even before there is a word on my tongue, you know it Lord. You know it all! You know everything.

Sometimes, like Natahanael, I come to see, but I come with no expectation that you will speak to me, that you will tell me: I know my child, I feel you, I hear you. That you will whisper to my heart how much you love me. I come forgetting who You are. Oh Jesus, forgive me.

You know it altogether. Where can I flee from your presence?

You are Holy! 

Before I even come into your presence, you are there, you see me, waiting for me. 

Oh Lord, fill me with Holy passion for you.

Let my heart encounter you more powerfully, let your fire burn within my whole being, let your presence take me to where you are, Lord of lords! 

Set my heart on fire for you, God!

Fill me with an inward glorious fire for You my King.

Let Your word be a burning fire in me. Let your truth be in every beat of my heart. Let Your Word reach the depth of my heart with intense love for you.

Oh Jesus, you are the only way to the heart of the Father, the only truth, the only freedom, the only savior, the only true goal. The only prize! You are the Messiah!

Peace Be Unto You!

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. Luke 24:36  

Jesus Himself, the Divine power of peace is standing in the midst of my troubles, fear, pain, and struggles. His sweet presence brings the sweetness of His peace. He stands in the midst of the agitated life and says to my heart: PEACE, be unto you!

Oh Jesus, what else would I need? What other desire could I have? Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. Ps.73:25

You stand and stretch your hand on my heart, on my mind and speak peace unto me. You comfort me, you fill me with the true peace that comes on me and immediately wash me from all the distraction, all the troubles and clear my eyes, to see you in all your splendor! To see that my Jesus is with me, always with me and never leaves me. You stand and stretch your hands to grab me closer to your heart, closer to your Spirit, where I can find rest and tranquility. Where I can feel loved and accepted, where I can smell your sweet fragrance of healing. I cling to you and you to me. Your peace penetrates every painful part of me and brings healing, brings wholeness. You are the perfect peace, Jesus, my Lord!

Looking at you, standing in the midst of the fears, my eyes are filled with peace, filled with your beauty. I forget all what the world is bringing to me, and see you, my King.

JESUS HIMSELF! nothing else is needed when pain or trouble or fear surround me. I have Jesus, the lover of my soul.

Jesus, You are always there, because you promised to be always there till the end of time. Forgive me for the times I cannot see you, in the midst of my fears, of my troubles even my future. For all the times, I fix my eyes on my own pain and struggles, and forget to lift my eyes on the One who will never fail me. Teach me to fix my eyes on Your beauty and see you. 

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Isa 26:3  

Forgive me for the times, I put my trust in my own strength and in humans instead of You, my divine Truth, YHWH of my life,

You are always here, standing, looking at me, waiting for me to bless me with your peace. And like you did with your disciples, you lift your hands, and bless me, you lift your hands and bestow on me a large measure of The Spirit. You breathe upon me with the breath of freedom. You are the perfect sacrifice, you are my high priest, you are my peace.

You say to me: peace be unto you, peace for you, peace to you. Let My peace overwhelm your soul and fill your heart. Let this time be a time of peace and tranquility in the midst of all the troubles. I, myself, Jesus, Your King, standing in the midst!

Yes, Lord, You are all powerful, all majestic, all full of splendor!

I AM above many waters!

I, the Lord, will give you strength,

I, the Lord, will bless you with PEACE.
