John 16:23-28

‘On that day you will ask nothing of me.
Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will
give it to you. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and
you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

‘I have said these things to you in figures
of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures,
but will tell you plainly of the Father. On that day you will ask in my name. I
do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father
himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from
God. I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving
the world and am going to the Father.’

Reflection

How do I love and believe Jesus?

Is my joy completed in Jesus?
