I'm not posting any pictures or reflecting upon our travels today for that you will have to look back at earlier posts. Today I just want to reflect for a moment on how much I enjoy people who get hungry for something, especially when that hunger is for Jesus.
I just spent a few moments talking with someone who I think is remembering why she fell in love with Jesus in the first place. I see it in couples who have been married for some time and they have their jobs and maybe children and over time things become comfortable and known. Then for one reason or another they rediscover each other. Maybe it is because of a crises or just because they have some extra time together but suddenly the passion and love is red hot again and they can't get enough of each other.
I love it when people who have been followers of Jesus for a time go through this as well. They find themselves wanting to read the Bible more, or to spend time in prayer that they never did before, and everything becomes new and they just can't get enough of it all. Then I wonder why don't we all experience this every day? Could it be that we begin to take Jesus for granted? Or as in the case of a married couple that we come to the sinking realization that Jesus isn't going to change and become like we want him to be and answer our every need? I don't know why the switch is turned on for some folks to fall in love with Jesus a second, third, or fourth time but I wish I knew what made it happen because I would spend my days looking for people in the church and the community who were ready to have their switches flipped and do everything that I could to be a part of getting them there.
