"The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. He sighed deeply and said, 'Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? ...no sign will be given to it.'"
(Mark 8:11-12)

I wonder if Jesus sighs at me sometimes. I want Him and the life He has given me to be a certain way, and it isn’t exactly what I think it should be. So then, like the Pharisees, I ask for a sign from Jesus to prove His love for me … again. I ask Him to give me what I think I signed up for in this “Christian life.”
When you think the Christian life has you stuck and you’re frustrated, ask Jesus, “How can I passionately serve you?” Remember that He is the Messiah we were looking for!
