“Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth." But Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, "Here is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in him." Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree." Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this." And he said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." -John 1:45-51
Jesus saw Nathanael under the fig tree, heard his prayer, and answered it. God knows every flap of every wing and the sway of each blade of grass. He has numbered the hairs on every head and counted every day in each life.
You are more important to God than all of creation, and He sees and hears you, too. Go to Him and believe, and you will see great things.
Saint Bartholomew (Nathanael), pray for us.
