SelahV graciously tagged me to share five reasons why I "dig Jesus." I love to talk about Jesus; so this is an easy request!
~~1: He endured the cross and died for me. It is completely breathtaking and incredible that Jesus took my sin upon Him to secure a place in God's Kingdom for me! No one else has ever loved me in that way.
~~2: He walks beside me every step of my journey. The fact that I'm never alone truly amazes me. He travels the mountains, the valleys, and the plateaus with me. He is my constant, never changing companion; the only friend I truly need--to me, that's awesome!
~~3: He thinks I'm beautiful. Beautiful on the inside, which is what really matters. Jesus "digs" what He sees in my heart. A heart sold out to teaching. A heart breaking for the lost. A heart beating for His Mission. A heart melting for the depravity of the world. A heart strengthened by God's power. A heart soaring for my family.
~~4: He helps me relax. My mind rarely stops racing--worries, thoughts, and emotions war for my attention. But, I love it when Jesus whispers, "Chill out already! Take a load off and think about Me and you. How 'bout a quick Bible drill to remind you of my promises?" He also says, "Come to Me and I will give you rest and relaxation." Basking in the Son is truly intense experience.
~~5: He reveals Himself to me in a million completely original ways. I see Him in the dewdrops on rose petals, the moonbeams bathing my garden at midnight, the eyes of my neices and nephews twinkling with mischief. I feel Him in the hugs from my earthly father, the kisses of my mother, the rain that wets my face in thundershowers. I hear Him in the rush of the wind, the roar in a seashell, the claps of thunder.
