You Don't Have to Get It, You Just Have to Get Him

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

John 13:6-7 NIV

I love Peter because he was just a guy trying to love Christ with all his heart, soul and mind. And we have so much to learn from his life because he was willing. He was willing to ask, willing to step out, willing to try and willing to learn. Peter didn't get everything, but, he got Jesus. 

Like Peter we may not understand what the Lord is doing in our lives, even when what he's doing is right in front of us. Amazingly, Christ understands. He doesn't get impatient and wonder why we don't see the end from the beginning, only he does. He doesn't cut us off because our faith waivers, he promised to never leave us. He never tells us that we have one more chance, he ever lives to intercede for us. 

The important truth is that Christ knows we may not understand what he's doing but, he does ask us to trust him until we are ready to understand what he is doing. Like Peter we will, in God's time understand. You don't have to get it, you just have to get Him.
