The sweetness of Jesus is more satisfying and lasting than anything we could search for. When we make Him our He is. Unfortunately we all too often leave Him as the thought, “He should be” yet we never make the thought become the reality into our He is. I wonder if it is because the things we choose to do are not the things He would choose us to do?
Jesus should be the piece of clothing we have to have, or the gamble we want to put a bet on.
He should be the meal we can't wait to devour, or the drug we are addicted to.
He should be the talk of the town, or the gossip we can't wait to spread.
He should be the affair we desire!
He should be the guest of honor at every party.
His word should be the movie we are dying to see and are addicted to.
He should be the sweet aroma that we spray on everyday.
He should be the best friend we choose
He should be the lap we lay on when we are sick
He should be the prize we run for.
He should be the one we treasure
He should be the one we fight for
He should be the one we cling to
He should be the one we thirst for
He should be our heart's desire
He should be the one we work for
He should be the one we seek to please
He should be the one we impress
He should be the one we hurt for
He should be the one we die to
He should be the one we go to war for
He should become our He is and not should be.
Jesus there is nothing sweeter than You, there is nothing greater, or more satisfying. Lord open our hearts and pour Your word and Spirit within us. May we come and taste the sweetness of Your presence as we make You our HE IS. Amen
