Lower and Higher

 

John 13:1-20. 

 

It's the story of Jesus washing the feet of His beloved disciples.

The ones who would neglect to pray and keep vigilant watch.

The ones who would turn their backs on Him.

The ones who had pained Him in His travels.

The ones who were doubtful. Still.

 

And I don't think we will ever fully comprehend, even now, even us, the fullness of His love and the extent of His mercy and provision.

 

Because His work... it's lower than we dare to stoop, and higher than we desire to go.

 

Today I am humbled.

And grateful.

 

And my heart begs to know Him better.

To love Him deeper.

And to desire Him stronger.
