Jesus likes to take people away from me. You see, I like people...sort of. I get super attached to people...instead of Jesus. So He tends to take them away or move me rather quickly. Which in hind-sight is the best thing for me. But at the time it's no fun. Thankfully, He's a dad who gives only the best gifts ever! So....as I sit and mope He sends people to comfort and strengthen me....plus they usually direct me towards Jesus which is awesome.
Now...recently I've gone into this introvert stage where I prefer to sit at home and read and listen to music, or people watch....but I'm starting to really hate school. Just because I don't feel like interacting with people. Granted, spending time alone with Jesus comes first...but Jesus was very rarely by Himself. I can only think of two passages (Although I'm sure there's more) where Jesus was completely alone with the Father. However, there are countless scenarios where Jesus was interacting with people...right?
On the one hand I say to myself, "Jesus people lead me to sin and get distracted from you" but on the other hand, I know I am commanded to "love others as myself". It's not easy, but it's what Jesus did. So I can enjoy my time by myself, but I also have to actively seek out those that need the love of Jesus. See, it's only when I start ignoring Jesus (even if only a little) that I start to have a crappy relationship.
But what I'm trying to say is that I praise God daily for His mercy. All those times I felt like I had gotten the short stick...that was my Jesus, saving my life, and wooing me into His arms. Praise be to the Almighty God, my Savior. And I love Him. More than you know....for real.
