I have written a little book called, ‘The last conversation‘. It is about the last deep conversation Jesus had with His friends before He was arrested and eventually murdered. What I have done was to take John 14, 15 and 16 and write what I understand Jesus was saying to His friends in that last conversation He had with them.
(If you can, read this as if Jesus was personally talking to you)
“Do not be worried and upset,” Jesus told them. “Believe in God and believe also in me.
‘Don’t worry, trust in God. Trust in Me too. There is nothing, no one, bigger than Us. What can be so overwhelming that you fall further than Our arms? What challenges can be so great that they separate you from Us?
Your trust in Me will grow as you get to know Me. It is not possible to trust Me completely, unless you know Me. Know Me and it is easy to trust Me. The secret is to build a relationship with Me and to see who I am. It won’t be an impossibility. I am in it with you. As much as I have the desire that you know Me, I have the desire to know you. I will show you who I am and then you will trust Me. It is one thing for Me to tell you who I am. It is a different thing when you see for yourself who I am. When you see who I am you will realise I am so completely for you and not against you.
You will eventually believe more and more that I am the Christ, the Son of God. Spontaneous trust will be birthed in you the more I am revealed to you. You won’t only trust Me to provide for things you need in your daily lives, you will also believe that I am, who I say I am. It is better to believe who I am than to only trust me for the everyday things you need. Having need of earthly things is temporal. Having need of Me is eternal.
When you truly get to know Me your worries and burdens will take on another form. You may even have the same burdens, but when you really know who I am and what I am capable of – for Your sake – your burdens will change. Actually, you will change inside and then the outside will look different. Seeing Me will give you new eyes. When you see Me in your burdens, they look different. When you realise I am in the midst of everything You are, even in the midst of your burdens and trials, you will lose your life and embrace Mine.
When My life becomes your Life you will shake off your worries and burdens, because no man can maintain My life, except God, My Father. You won’t have to worry to maintain your life, because you don’t need to live your life any longer. You will live My life. You will live Me. I am your Life and I will maintain your Life. I have maintained My life for all eternity past. I will continue to do so – also in you for all eternals to come.
Many time in your lives I will allow circumstances to form you. I won’t necessary change those circumstances, but I will change you in those circumstances. They are meant to form Me in you and make Me more visible to the world and yourself. The less you become, the more I will become. The less you become, the more you are taken up into Me. The more you disappear, the more I appear. You don’t know it yet, My friends, but this is the last time I will talk so intimately with you about things on My heart.’

The true good waiter doesn’t stand around bored. He observes his customer’s every move, looking for any indication of what he (the waiter) should do next to meet his customer’s needs. He is actively observing (beholding) his customer in order to get an indication of what his next move should be.
