“I Will!” Have you ever heard that spoken to you? It happens often, you know. Every time you pray believing, Jesus answers, "I will." Every time you ask for forgiveness, Jesus answers, "I will." Every time you ask Jesus to lead you, He answers, "I will."
The power of Jesus' words for us when we ask, have an amazing ability to reach into every area of our lives with the transforming power of His love to change us, heal us, and empower us to be all He desires us to be.
However, as I say this, I realize that not all my prayers get answered, at times I don’t feel forgiven, and many times I can’t see where Jesus is leading. Because of this, I wonder if any of this is real and does Jesus, in fact, have the power to answer in any way the questions I have in my heart and mind? "I will," Jesus says. I will…in that simple statement is the power of faith to believe.
Two things jump out at me in this point. The first is this. What I believe about Jesus does not change who and what He is. For me to say, I can’t see or feel or understand does in no way diminish the power of Jesus. What it shows is my lack of understanding of the power which Jesus has and the glory which is His. The second point is this. Jesus desires to prove His power in my life. Perhaps when I don’t see it or don’t feel it, it is not His lack of ability but my lack of belief.
“I will,” Jesus says.
Lord, Help me to believe!
