Choosing to see Christ in everything
Voici un extrait du livre: “Choosing to see” de Mary Beth Chapman:
“It was a big, long week. I did’nt have time for anything i long to do…being at home, quiet, spending time reading, praying…you all know what I’m saying. At any rate, i hope at this point you are all figuring out that i am really normal-or not- and on the verge of out-of-controlness! Friday night found us at Shaoey’s BB tournement in wich she played on game friday night, two games saturday night, and two games on sunday night! (They won!!!) All the while i am the mother of the groom, with weddind plans coming down the pike fast. I just married off my daughter last october, my little girl went to be with Jesus, and Will is graduating as well.
I thing i am realizing something through all of the craziness. Yes God wants my quiet, and yes, God wants me to rest and hear Him and learn from him. But all along, in the crazy last two weeks where i hardly had time to think, i realized that if i always think that i am going to finally get to that place where i am constantly trying to get – like in a quiet, picked-up house- then i’m wrong.
I need to choose to see Christ in every birthday party i drive to, every piano lesson that gets taught, every ballet tutu that gets twirled. God is with me. He isn’t waiting until BB season is over or until i get completely healthy. He sees me now. He is with me now. I know this is a simple realization, but it was big good news to me.” p.219
J’ai vraiment aimé cet extrait parce que je me reconnais là-dedans. J’ai besoin de me faire rappeler que ce n’est pas seulement quand je suis “quiet” que je peux connecter avec Jésus mais bien en tout temps et en tout lieux.
Hier soir, j’ai vu Christ dans mon salon! Non pas une apparition de sa personne mais plutôt j’ai vu sa Bonté et sa grâce en regardant Josué chanter avec son papa la chanson: “un jour mes yeux verrons Jésus” et en voyant ma Kyria danser et tournoyer doucement sur cette musique avec son plus beau sourire! C’était un “précious moment” qui m’a émue aux larmes.
Et toi, arrives-tu à “voir” Jésus même lorsque tu es occupé? As-tu tendance à penser qu’Il est plus près lorsque tu te retrouve dans la tranquuilité? Attends-tu d’être seule et tranquille pour entrer en relation avec Lui? Oublies-tu qu’Il est avec toi en tout temps et en tout lieux?
