The reason that some of you out there are having such a hard time in your spiritual walk right now is because you don’t realize how good you have it. More specifically, you don’t realize yet just how unbelievably awesome Jesus is. I mean, yeah, you love Jesus. Yeah, you’re thankful and blown away by the fact that He loved you enough to die for you. Yeah, you believe you’re going to heaven someday because of the price He paid and all that, but there’s a lingering something just behind the curtain of your life that is nagging at you... and here’s what it is: you still think Jesus just sort of tolerates you. Somewhere down in the deep places of your heart, you’re worried that although Jesus paid for you, He basically puts up with you and is probably annoyed with you and your cycles of struggle. In other words, in your mind, Jesus is kind of like a parent in a grocery store who’s in a hurry and you are just hustling along behind everyone else, trying frantically to keep up on your little toddler legs, knowing He’s frustrated with you ‘cause you’re holding everyone else up. Well, scratch all that. Flip it over... the truth is SO much better than that! Jesus not only loved you enough to die for you back in the day, but He passionately and desperately loves you still! He’s not running ahead begging you to keep up, but rather standing beside you walking every step with you. Did you know that Jesus prays for you? That’s right - He sits there beside God the Father and just pleads for you all day long. He doesn’t just tolerate you - He has your back.
