Am I looking to Jesus as my event coordinator? Or do I look to Jesus as life giving relationship and my Constant Companion?
The majority of my life will be a daily walk consisting of what seems to be small, regular issues of daily living. When Jesus is my constant companion, I will actually find Jesus with me in the thousands of small things and encounters I have every day! This daily interaction is the focus of all of life …. in all situations good and bad …… This relationship and daily interaction with Jesus is life!
I will have a difficult time sensing Jesus if I am expecting Him to show up only for the bigger events, situations, and decisions of life. When I see Jesus as my event coordinator, I don’t really need Him most of the time. If I only look for and see Jesus in major needs and events in my life, I won’t have meaningful purpose in my daily living. Instead I will be looking for something to pass the time and end up with wasted days and wasted nights. In order to not be bored, I spend time on my phone; I spend time shopping, traveling, and building sand castles. And where is Jesus? I don’t know because I don’t really need Him right now and since I feel that I am able handle all the normal parts of daily living.
When the primary focus of life is my relationship with Jesus, there is purpose and meaning in each day and it is never boring. Jesus said; “I have come that you might have life, and life more abundantly! John10:10 And “I am with you always!” Matt.28:20 So,,,, following Jesus and having Him as my Constant Companion in all my daily interactions, is my life!
