John 10:22-30

“The Father and I are one..” Do you know how much confidence Jesus had to have to make a statement like that? He believed it in his heart that he was the Logos who was there from the very beginning. Not because he was a miracle worker. By the way, we have no miracles in the gospel of John, only signs. He believed it because he did the hard work of finding the voice of God within. The world offered plenty of reasons for Jesus to doubt himself. Hake he was a carpenter. Remember that was a hair above the slave and woman. He had people question time and time again. His daily struggles with the disciples gave little indication that he was God.

My point to you is this. When you find your truth about you, hell breaks loose on you sometimes. Stick to your truth no matter what the world throws at you.

I am a priest. If only you had an idea how much hate mail, excommunications, loneliness I have had to endure to be able to say that. But this happens to everyone. When you say “I am a mother” the devil throws everything at you to get you off balance. Let us pray for all of us, that we find our truths and stick with them. Find the voice of God within.
