Hmmm....I should be writing an essay
You know, as you learn more, you learn the implications of what you're learning. And when your following Christ, these things you learn that show you the brokenness of the world matter to you and you have to care, you love to care, because you are His and He is love.
But love isn't all that Christians crack it up to be. It's something much stronger and it hurts sometimes...because a lot of times pain changes you in ways that nothing else can--it makes you stronger somehow. This may not make sense, because its still forming in my mind, but the way we portray Jesus...I don't think that's what He really was like, a lot of times.
Like, Jesus would be intense. Some people wouldn't want to look Him in the eyes or talk to Him because they'd know He would uncover who they were as soon as He started asking questions. He just knew...
But He had this love...it like pulled people toward Him in a way they'd never felt and wouldn't know how to react to, they just knew that they wanted Him, wanted to be in His presence and feel His words--because the things Jesus said went so much stronger than skin deep...you felt the truth of it in your soul. To stand in His Presence while He spoke...
And to hear Him sing! What'd I'd give to hear Jesus sing (oh, wait, I have...:)
Hmm...I love that knowing God and His Son goes so much deeper than we ever were told. Like, all I want to do lately is stand face to face with Him...and that's all He's asking me to do at this point in my life.
So good.
