When you face headwind
On the last evening Jesus is preparing his friends. Not everyone will be glad of them. Sometimes you meet headwind because of what you believe.
He doesn't say it to frighten them, but to comfort them. It happened to him first. Whoever meets headwind isn't alone. He has been through it too, and he stands beside you.
Question for today
Where am I facing headwind, and do I know that he knows it?
Prayer
Lord, you were rejected first. When I face headwind, let me know that you understand and that you stand beside me. Amen.
