"Jesus, I know your here."
When was the last time you considered the fact that you are not alone as you read this? No, I don’t mean in that slasher film kind of alone; I’m talking about the fact that no matter where you go you or what you do you are never completely alone. I had not given this much thought in a very long time until very recently. I know that the Lord as an omni- present God is everywhere, but sometimes we miss the real point. Jesus is with you now, in your heart, in your body, along side you, waiting for you to speak to him. Even more than speaking to him, he waiting for you to listen to what he has to say.
In the same way that the disciples walked along side Jesus in the flesh before he sacrificed himself for our sins, he walks along side us with every step we take. Because of this we can have that same relationship with him his followers had. Through the Eucharist, Christ nourishes our body and soul. He is in us as body, blood, soul, and divinity, which makes him perfectly present with us in every way.
Ok, so we walk with Jesus, but do we talk to him, or even better do we ever shut-up and let him speak to us. Christ Jesus wants to speak into the darkness that surrounds us, he wants to guide us according to his will, but if we have rock star syndrome we can be to busy getting the autograph and the t-shirt and may miss the backstage pass. We focus so much on this prolific figure of God sitting on the great white throne, we miss the Nazarene carpenter carrying us through the storm.
Try talking to him today, not as if he is miles away in the clouds, but as if he was within reach of a whisper. He is Savior and Lord, but he is also Friend and Brother. Talk to him today like you would a friend. Make the time to get to know him in a new way, and maybe you will learn to listen.
Maybe I will learn to listen.Currently Listening
