Journal wonderings... Aug 18/11
What do You want to talk about Jesus? I have to say... I am enjoying You popping into my thoughts alot lately. love You...
... if You, Jesus, are in everyone and when I reach out to love another I find You there I am actually ministering to You... when You are weak, hungry, thirsty, lonely and in prison... I am not only free from fear (cause it is You I am seeing and not the possibility of rejection) I also am experiencing You being about me. hahaha.
When we become concerned with being loved, liked and accepted we tend to surround ourselves with friends, close friends. But let us challenge that...here's a chance to taste of that mystery we experience when we meet a stranger, yet bond with them almost instantly when we recognize Christ in them. Knowing without words they are family in Christ (or simply one so loved by Him).
So if I am reaching out to whoever You send to me or my path crosses I find myself very often in the company of a friend... some deeper than others, some for a brief time perhaps even that one meeting, while others for an ongoing relationship. But the gist of what I am saying is, I am never lacking because You (the absolute closest friend and love of my life) keep showing up, I don't have to surround myself with only a few, keeping the unknown others at arms distance, because if I am meeting You in that random stranger I am meeting my soul friend, Saviour and King.
Huh.
