Who wants Jesus to do things for you? I for one want Jesus to do things for me. I want my life to be absolutely exciting. I want all that Jesus wants to give me (and Jesus wants to give you so much more than you can imagine). That is what we are looking for, that will make Jesus real to me and relevant to those around me.
The problem is for most who say they believe in Jesus they don’t see that in their lives, but they want. I think it comes down to where we choose to be.
Jesus is saying come here. He is motioning us to come over where He is. To go where He is going. Jesus is saying I want to lead you to something awesome. But for most of us, we go Jesus, no you come over here. You do what I want you to do what I think is awesome.
Jesus knows you better than yourself, but we don’t want to go with Him, we want Jesus to go with us. I don’t know about you, but I have no idea what is going to happen in the next week let alone the next 10 minutes, but Jesus does.
Why don’t we go to where Jesus is, when He says come here. It is our of our comfort zone. We are comfortable where we are so Jesus just join us here. But what if where you are is not the best place for you? Jesus says I want to take you to the best places so you have an absolutely exciting life.
Another reason we don’t always go with Jesus is because we are afraid. We see what is going on and go, I don’t think so Jesus. We dig our heels in the ground or even take a step backwards. Here is the thing, when Jesus asks you to come over here you have to realize something very important. That if Jesus says to come, you will get there. Jesus will never ask you to come over here knowing that you can’t make it.
If you want to really have the amazing life we read about in the Bible we have to be willing to come when Jesus calls. Allow Jesus to lead us to the glory, because He actually knows the way. Once we get used to doing it, Jesus won’t have to ask us to come anymore, we will just go wherever He is without Him asking because we will find out life just gets better and better when we stay right beside Jesus.
When Jesus says come here, and then we do, even when everything inside of us says no, is when you enter into the fun life that Jesus always wanted you to have.
Yes you can still ask Jesus to come to where you are, and He will because He loves you. However your life will not be the exciting life you want it to be, because you are leading the relationship and you don’t see all that is possible. Jesus sees so much more for you, that you can’t see and Jesus can’t wait to show you how amazing this relationship can be.
So when Jesus says come here, take a chance and go see why Jesus wants you to come here. If Jesus asks you to come here, there is something great He has in store for you!
Remember Jesus loves you, I love you, and you are awesome!
