I Understand

“I’m experiencing so many problems lately, Lord and I don’t understand why.” Brian said.

“Some time ago You told me that the eye is the lamp of the body, describing the way we understand. In that case my lamp is burning very low, Lord, flickering as if it is going out.”

“All I have that is growing, is debt. I cannot afford many things any more. What do I have to do to have it turned around?”

After a few seconds, Jesus answered him. “It is because you don’t understand, Brian.”

“Indeed, Lord, but what do I have to understand?”

“Read Psalm 47:7.” For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.

“Who is King of the world, Brian?”

“You are, Lord!”

“If someone would sing to Me, praising Me as King of the world but doesn’t understand what it really means, his voice becomes a sounding brass or clinging cymbal.” (1 Cor 13:1, Psalm 49:20)

“But, Lord, that is true when there is no love and I do love You!”

“Yes I know, but do you understand how I love you?”

“If you did, you would have understood everything. I appointed angels to watch over you. Yet, personally, I keep My eyes on you too. I died for your mistakes. I did that because I love you!”

“Understand that I willingly became King of your world because I love you.”

“Take a good look at yourself because you are the object of My love. I know everything in your life that hurts you… And I love you so much! It hurts Me more.”

“I know your every little secret and mistake and because you don’t try to hide it from Me, I love you even more.”

“Understand that I Am. Understand that I am omnipresent. I am with you! I will not stop loving you!”

“Understand that I am standing next to you.”

“When you understand that, and you are singing and praising Me, you are actually physically standing in My presence and in My love!”

“Understand also that the moment you believe in My loving, overshadowing presence, you will have what you are believing for.”

“Faith starts in believing in My ever present love for you!”
