Jesus has been many different 'person' to me. When I first accepted Christ as my saviour, He was my safe harbour, hope of a great future, prosperity, health, comforter and blessings. More recently I have allowed Him to be my yoke, strength, courage, joy and wisdom. The more I know Him, the more I realise the vastness of what He can be to me.
A prevailing thought over the last few days is of my desire to please Him, to do the 'right things' that did not emerge out of fear, of losing out on blessings, or for fear of being 'smite' for not following the rules and regulations. The desire is coming from a place where it saddens and hurts me when He hurts. It is as if I wish doing the right thing will cause Him to have received less stripes, that it might bring joy and relief to the heart that was broken for me.
I am humbled by how I can do nothing to change what He has done for me on the cross. Tightly embraced and loved, Jesus is my everything. I hope He will become my everything in everyway.
