"If I am not doing my Father's works, don't believe me. 
But if I am doing them and you don't believe me, believe the works. 
This way you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.
John 10:37-38 CSB
Jesus isn't interested in some intellectual argument, he's saying look at my life.
Take your blinkers off and look at my life.
Put your biases aside and look at my life.
Put your agenda aside and look at my life.

As we do that today, we see Jesus who is moved with compassion, who acts, steps in, steps towards, brings healing and hope. 
He's the same today, and calls us to simply follow him.
Be moved with compassion.
Take action.
Step in, step towards, bring healing and hope. 
May our lives tell the gospel, so that when the world, the culture, those around us want an answer, it's not our words but our life that tells the story. 
Yes we mess it up, get it wrong, don't paint the accurate picture that Jesus does, but it's about direction...small steps in the right direction.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
