How Do You Know Me?

Scripture: John 1:45-51

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!" Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these." And He said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

Reaction: My question to the Lord during my meditation today was “How do You know me?” The answer was: I have known you from the beginning of time. I know all of your strengths and your weaknesses, and I am pleased that you are seeking me. I will give you all of the tools you need to follow Me and do My will, if you continue to pray and have faith in Me. Don’t believe in Me because of any ‘signs’ you think you see, but feel My presence in your heart. Know that I am with you and that I love you, and I want to draw you closer to me.
