Humans are community spirits, but not everyone is on the same wave length. That makes life interesting and complicated at best. It is especially evident when one’s spiritual journey has reached a different level than those closest to them. This can lead to talking over and around each other, being misunderstood, never truly heard, and frustrating relationships. It is very hard to be in community and feel unheard. Jesus experienced this very thing. He was on God level, but was able to calmly, methodically, and carefully go about His Father’s business.
If anyone who has ever lived in this world felt the rub of frustration from not being heard or understood it is Jesus. So what can we learn from His life? How can we apply it to our daily lives and relationships today? Spend some time with the Holy Spirit today. Find your level. Seek your answers. Don’t give up.
It is up to each and every person to develop a personal and spiritual relationship with the Heavenly Father. If they don’t do the work you will be unheard, but that doesn’t mean you stop working.
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 14:9
