The capacity to believe is a gift from the Father.
Jesus notes that no
everone listening to him has been given entrance
by the Father. The
disciples who stay with him after hearing what is
beyond reason, Jesus
credited it to their being the chosen ones. We walk
by faith and not by
sight. Many do not have this gifted capacity. This
is a relief to us who
often ask, ?Why don?t people get it?? ?It is not
that hard to
understand!? In truth, it is not hard for you to
understand. Not because
you are so smart. But becaue God the Father is so
good to gift you with
the faith to believe and the capacity to be who you
are in a world where
many are not. It is the experience of being chosen.
Enjoy!
