Believing is a movement of heart as well as mind

Morning: Psalms 117, 118; Isaiah 59:15-21; Revelation 2:8-17
Evening: Psalms 112, 113; John 4:46-54

Some reject Jesus because they think he just wants them to believe certain ideas. Being a disciple is not about accepting precepts; it’s about trusting the one you follow.  It goes something like this: … I don’t know if I understand everything you’re saying, but I do trust you, so I’m with you … not on everything, but I’m with you.  The royal official believes in Jesus, trusts him, and then things start to change … This is a movement of heart as well as mind.  When your head cannot fathom the mystery of God, give your heart a chance.
