That was the câu hỏi Jesus asked the women at the well, as bạn read in John 4:7. Why would Jesus need man to do him a favor in the first place? Is He not the Almighty God who can do whatever He wants? So why would He need to ask a foreign women to give Him some water? Why would He ask bạn for a favor today?
bạn can respond like so many others do and say 'just leave me alone, I don't need you' and he probably would. bạn look at him just like one of these annoying insurance sales men that really don't want to leave bạn alone until they got bạn to either buy something from them hoặc throw something at them.
But Jesus is not this kind of guy. He simply asks bạn for a favor and gives bạn an opportunity that will be for your own benefit in the end. Come on, it's no secret that the world is careless, best Những người bạn disappear when they are needed the most and the ones bạn tình yêu will eventually kick bạn in the teeth.
Yeah right, and now bạn try to tell me that the church is any different? Well, I wish. But to be honest, it's probably not the truth. But I believe that God himself is really different. He doesn't push, he doesn't condemn. He really loves bạn in a way that is hard to believe. Your father might have been hard with bạn and your mother was never there for you, but the tình yêu and acceptance that bạn will experience in His presence is amazing.
bạn don't need to proof anything. bạn don't need to pretend to be someone that you're not. bạn don't need to be perfect. Just face the crap in your tim, trái tim and be honest with Him. Tell Him something simple like 'I know that I'm full of crap and I can't change it.'. He will still listen. bạn see, there are a lot of preachers out there that preach ngọn lửa, chữa cháy and brimstone and how sinful bạn are and that bạn are a miserable rotten sinner. But quite honestly, bạn knew that before. That is not good news!
The good news is that bạn don't have to stay like that. Jesus can transform your life and make it worth living again. That's the good news! He just needs your approval. He's not a selfish sales cá mập that doesn't care for you, but he gave everything up, including his own life, to make it possible for bạn to have a better and eternal life. When was the last time bạn saw a sales man selling all his own stuff to give bạn money to buy what bạn wanted? I have never seen someone like that! But that is exactly what Jesus did. He gave all He had to give bạn all bạn want. That is real love! It is hardly found in people today, but it is found in Him.
When He knocks at door of your tim, trái tim and asks bạn for a favor. Instead of ignoring Him, open your tim, trái tim wide and bạn will end up having thêm than He has requested from you.
Trust him for once and say something like: 'Jesus, I'm quite a wreck and I ask bạn to forgive my sins. Please come and pour your tình yêu into me'. What bạn will experience will be thêm than just another moment of your life, but bạn will encounter the true power of God. bạn will feel a difference and bạn will be starting into a true adventure and into a life that is worth living.
'OK, and where is the small print?' Here it is:'Life is not just easy because of Jesus, but it is never hopeless. bạn will NOT just be a puppet of God, but a man empowered bởi God. Problems don't just disappear, but He will help bạn through and make bạn a way.
Be blessed.
