“But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.” (John 8:45)

Why is it so hard to trust Jesus? Because we want to do our flesh’s desires. Listening to them is as good as listening to the devil. He was a murderer from the beginning and did not trust Christ to save him. Why? Because there is no place for trust in the evil one. When we lie, we speak out of our flesh’s sense of lack and fear. That distrusting flesh quickly listens to the father of lies. Proof? You readily accept Father’s love and forgiveness for you and then, for fear, arm yourself against your neighbor, ready to salve your fear of their death.

I have spoken the truth. Trust Me. The Lord fights your battles.

Thank You, Father. I’ll live until You no longer need this temple.
