Jesus takes great risk with us. When He does a work in us or for us we may lovingly run head long into it or flat out reject all it is, holds, and means.
We asked for something specific but instead we got this (whatever THIS is). It's up to me whether I accept His provision or ignore it.
He would rather take this chance at drawing me closer or pushing myself away. Sometimes I think He is just playing hard to get. You know when a lover does something out of the ordinary to surprise you, enticing you to move a little closer? It's like that.
And then there are times where I get pissed off at what He's doing. Sometimes I think He is just plain hard to get. You know those moments when a lover does something that seems to do more harm than good? It's like that.
It's world shattering when the latter happens and I begin to grasp what He's been doing. It's almost unbelievable when the former happens. While in stride I fall to my face in tears or laughter after the release of His abundance.
For 3 hours I have been pouring myself over all the above in regards to My Lover for my lover.
***Very little of this is original and I would be doing a disservice to the saints if I didn't point this out. On Rich Mullins' The Jesus Record you will find the song "Hard to Get". The Splinter Shards the Birth of Separation by Zao has the song "The Children Cry for Help".***
