Imagine Jesus suddenly walking into the little room where you’re sitting all alone. What happens? Think about it. Turn on your imagination.

What’s the expression upon His face as He approaches you? How’s His body language? Is He uptight? Does He hurry up and get past the greeting because He’s preoccupied with His To-Do List? Or is He lit-up with delight to be with you, knowing as He does that He is your Lord and Benefactor, having all things for you, His friend and confidant?

In that little room, you’d have the day of your life. And all you want—in that room and outside of it—is shaped by who He is and how He is with you.

This is life with Jesus. This is life by the Spirit. This is why it’s so good to think about, read, write, pray and talk about the goodness of God to us in Christ. There is no burden to it, no responsibility for our performance, and no judgement about the quantity and style of our enjoyment. Enjoying God with you is the thing! You know it’s true by what it does for you, and what it does for others through you. How better to display God’s grace than to enjoy Him?

That little room is in you. There’s no where you have to go. No mountain top or valley low that’s a better place to enjoy Him. No mood music or lighting by which to provide a better atmosphere for Him to show up. You’re it. God’s plan of the ages has come to pass in you. Growing in that grace, growing in believing and knowing that is maturing in the faith. That’s not much of an effort, is it? No. So enjoy.

See you later.
