In this passage, we find two of the disciples of John, Andrew and another disciple(it is said that this is John the Evangelist himself), deciding to follow Jesus after hearing from John that he is the Lamb of God.Jesus asked them what they wanted.They asked in turn where Jesus was staying. Jesus immediately invited them to stay with him by replying: "Come and see."
Those words of Jesus should always resound in our hearts.He will never abandon us; he is always asking us to come and see where he is.Our whole desire should be to stay with him.We have to be constantly asking him , "Lord where are you staying?"Our inner conditions of failures or our unworthiness do not matter.What matters is our desire to be with him.It is that desire that transforms our lives.Our desire to stay with him gives us the grace to transform our lives.
Many a time , we are dissatisfied and unhappy.Nothing does make us happy.We are looking for something more beautiful or some thing more comforting.Those desires can only make us more hungry for such feelings and will never satisfy our hearts.Only Jesus alone can satisfy us.So Stay with Jesus, and feel happy in His presence.
Lord, help me to stay with you and help me to feel the joy of your presence.Lord, be with me.Be my source of joy.
