DESPERATES

Jesus cares more about desire than about competence. That's why He paid attention to people who interrupted Him, tugged at Him, yelled at Him, touched Him, crashed thru ceilings to get to Him, climbed trees to see Him, and followed Him around everywhere.

My hunch is that most of us who read here feel utterly incompetent at least some of the time and yet, we can't let go of Jesus. He sees right thru all of that competence-overtrying into a heart that is leaning and yearning for Him.

Christianity isn't for those who think religion is a pleasant distraction - just some nice alternative. It is for desperates.

And be blessed.

Someone very close to me by birth says that Christians use Jesus for a crutch, only calling on him when we are in crisis.
