Jesus is what a life filled with God looks like. And his name is drawing my interest and thoughts. The name literally means God saves or God heals. This is the stuff of God-restoration, peace and that calm resolve when everything rests. The resting mostly happens in you because you can’t control the outside. You can’t be someone else and you can’t change anything, until you are changed yourself. Change is process though and the kind of healing that Jesus is about happens along the way, in my experience. With each step and nudge toward wholeness, resolve and meals shared we glimpse what God looks like. In a professor sharing his life, in a friend sharing her home and in long walks that wonder around town, enjoying. Enjoying Jesus I guess. In the words of Francis de Sales, a guy who totally flipped oppressive calvinists on their heads through love:
Vive Jesus Vive!!
