Ordinary
God knows that we live ordinary lives. The dishes need washed the food needs prepared. We have to organize papers clean study. We have to drive places and on and on. Jesus did all these things (not drive) but if there were cars, Jesus would have gotten a drivers license insurance all that is required. Then we could have ran into him at the gas station filling up His car. He was a man. It seems like fun imagine, "Hey, Jesus what are you doing today?" "Well,I have a job their remodeling the hospital putting in a new cancer wing. Oops, having said that, He probable would not get that job because there would be no patients at least not if they asked Him to heal them. Any way I hope you can see that we don't live on some "nether plain" like a movie script. We live ordinary lives. In an extraordinary God. In Him we live and we have our being. Each day is still an ordinary day but we spend the day the moments with Jesus, still very ordinary. There is no magic gene or lamp to rub at our will, no we have a relationship a God who knows what it is to walk,talk do dishes and ordinary things. He knows what rejection feels like. When you go to your child's on line album and it says "family" but your not there. Your grandchild writes about their family and your not mentioned. He knows what that feels like. Whether or not it's fair, is beside the point He knows what that feels like. The other day my grandchild was embarrassed of me, it didn't feel that great (not that I blame them)we live in a culture of conformity. Still I could find my comfort in knowing Jesus even at that moment is wild about me. You don't have to have approval of others (even family) when you look at Jesus. I am not saying it feels good to get rejection, it does not. I am saying you can never look into Jesus eyes and see disappointment regrets disdain if you are His child, it is not possible. He only has love. Say this: in the eyes of Jesus is only love for me. Oh say it. It is true! You who have chosen the blood of Jesus are clean are new! You are loved. You are in Christ. "This is my beloved, my pride and joy hear Him"! Speak this truth in Christ there is no possibility of condemnation. Oh there is no bounds to His love for His ordinary child.
