Are there people in your life who never take your feelings into account? Maybe you have a boss or a coach or even a friend or parent who does whatever they’re going to do however they want to do it, without ever stopping to consider how it might affect you. Don’t you wish that they would ask you how you feel, or at least took just a second to think about how you might be impacted? Here’s the thing: Jesus isn’t like them. Jesus is selfless and filled with the kind of love that always considers how other people will be affected. For example, one time Jesus was at a wedding where the wine had run out. He performed His first miracle and saved the day by turning some water into the finest wine anyone had ever tasted, but the story doesn’t end there. You see, when you read the account, you find out that Jesus worked this miracle in the back room with only a few people watching. Now, that’s really interesting because Jesus did plenty of public miracles. It’s not that He had a problem displaying His power in front of crowds. On two separate occasions, He multiplied food for thousands of people with their eyes on Him! He once raised a young man from the dead in the middle of the dude’s funeral procession in the center of the town! He could have rolled up His sleeves at this wedding and blown everyone’s mind, but He didn’t. He turned water into wine in private because the wedding day belongs to the bride and groom. This was their special day. Jesus loves you like that and when He works, He always thinks about your heart.
