John 17:1-5, Eternal Life Today

 “This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only   true God, and the one you have sent, Jesus Christ.   I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do.”

‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

Lord, what an amazing truth that we can actually know You!  That You want me to know You. That You allow us to know You.  And through knowing You we can, today, begin to experience eternal life.  

Eternal life does not start when we die, but rather when we come near to You, to really know You!  Lord, help me to seek You, help me to see You, help me to experience Your presence.

Finally Lord, strengthen me to do the work You created me to accomplish so that You would receive Glory!  It may not be significant or impressive, but it is Your work specially set aside for me to do, by the power of Your Spirit!  Allow me to follow You well and shine the light on Your glory!
