It is interesting to note that even as he spoke with his disciples about the fact that his time with them was growing short, Jesus still remains optimistic: I have much more to tell you ... (Jn 16:12), yet he was always sensitive to the readiness of his disciples to receive the words that he wanted to share: You cannot bear it now, but when the Spirit comes .. he will guide you to all truth (Jn 16:13).
How wonderful it is to know that our God knows us so well that Jesus was - and is always - aware of our capacity to hear his words, to appreciate them and to accept them, and how wonderful it is for us to know that our God will not tell us anything that we are incapable of hearing or understanding!
We can marvel today in the fact that our God is so patient with us that we will never be forced to hear any of the words He chooses to share if we are incapable of truly hearing them. With infinite patience, our God waits for us to be ready to experience His goodness. There is always more for us to discover, to celebrate and to appreciate, but only when we are ready.
Have a great day.
