John: If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
I suppose it's all about perspective. What would happen if we read the Bible and believed everything in it to be true. Would we become more aware of what God/Spirit is actually capable of? Would we be more willing to hand over our worries, problems, insecurities, doubts, and fears, knowing that God/Spirit will take care of everything? All we have to do in return is to be grateful and seek God/Spirit in everything, nature, neighbor, and necessities.
Maybe then God will trust us enough to give us a glimpse of Heaven.
