THIS JESUS CHALLENGES ME

I am furious & he tells me forgive

I am afraid & he tell me Take courage

I have doubts & he says to me Have confidence

I feel restless & he says to me Be calm

I prefer to go my own way & he says Come & follow me

I make my own plans & he tells me Forget about them

I aim for material goods & he says Leave them behind

I want security & he says I Promise you absolutely nothing

I like to live my own life & he says Lose your life

I believe I am good & he tells me Good is not enough

I like to be the boss & he says Serve

I like To command other & he says Obey

I like to underesatnd he says Believe

I like clarity & he speaks in Parables

I like poetry & he speaks me in Realities

I like tranquility & he likes me to be Disturbed

I like violence & he says Peace be with u

I draw sword & he says Put that away

I think of revenge & he says Offer the other cheek

I speak order & he says I have come to bring the sword

I choose hatred & he says Love your enemies

I try to sow harmony & he says I have come to cast fire upon the earth

I like to be the greatest he says Learn to be small as a child

I like to remain hidden & he says Let your light shine

I look at the best place & he says Sit in the last seat

I like to be noticed & he says Pray in your room behind locked doors

NO.... I don't understand this Jesus.

He provokes me .

He confuses me

Like so many of his disciples ,I too would like to follow another Master

who would be more certain & less demanding

But I experienced almost the same as Peter :"I don't now of anyone else

WHO HAS THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE!"
