1 Peter 1: 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy
Peter walked with Jesus, talked with him, learned from him. Peter was thrilled with those who believed even though they had no personal contact with Jesus in human form. I wonder what Peter would say about believers in 2013.
We are so far removed from everything that was present in Jesus's time. We have a totally different lifestyle, with all the modern stresses and conveniences. We are exposed to so much more information. We have so many material possessions along with all the temptations to focus on the things of this world.
Prayer: Lord, I have not seen Your son in the flesh, and I find it hard to relate to the world he walked in. But I do believe in You and Your son, and I am filled with joy and peace b/c I know a relationship with both of You and Your Holy Spirit make my life here and in eternity a glorious one.
As I have so many times before, I thank you for the gift of faith You have given me.
Amen
