Whenever I read the Bible, I cant help but to imagine how would it be to be with Jesus. How awesome would it be to see Him and His work. I don't know about you guys but this happens with me always, whenever I'm fascinated with a person, I closely observe them and try to imbibe their 'goodness'
But with Jesus, its different. Though He is my friend, a big brother, there is still something that keeps me in awe of his image. There is something which makes me feel distant from Him, yet drags me to follow his way of living..No doubt He was the perfect human being, but one should not forget that He is also God's one and only son, who himself is a part of trinity. And logically, if God makes a mistake then he shouldn't be called God.
Jesus comes across as a humble, simple and honest person. At the same time he demonstrates his power, command and control over everything. That's the exact reason I feel, living with Him is a challenge. Its so easy to read 'the word' daily and attend church on Sundays regularly, but living the life one is called for is a tough task. I have been experiencing a very weird yet satisfying feeling these days. Everyday I become aware of my in-capabilities or limitations, which frustrates me, but at the same time I am experiencing the control of Him, as things unfold over time. I hate uncertainty but I have started liking to wait for His answers.
Everyday, I learn that I am work in progress and His presence in my life is only gonna make me into a better person. For a person like me who is dependent on people's reactions, I long for His reply or reaction. I am curious to know, does this happen to you as well???
