“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. (John 16: 12-15) Reflection It sounds like Jesus has more to say to his disciples but now is just not the right time. What will help it be the right time? The presence of the Spirit of truth. Truth coming from the God and declared to us. Then, come what may, they (the disciples) and we can handle the many things. I am not going to hide it. The events of the past few weeks broke my heart. Jesus knew some things are just too hard to bear. Even told us that. Jesus also told us the Spirit will be with us. That Spirit speaks straight from God; just as Jesus would speak to our broken hearts. It just may take time. It could take a long time. What do you need to hear right now? Listen for the Spirit. Listen for words of Truth. They will guide us in time. --Ruth Gates Prayer Dear God, thank you for knowing some things are just too much to bear. Help us hear the Spirit of truth speaking all the love from you through Jesus. Guide us through all times. Amen.
