This pretty much encapsulates who Jesus is for me.
Who is Jesus for me? Henri Nouwen, the noted spiritual writer, highlights “Jesus has to be and to become the center of my life. It is not enough that Jesus is my teacher, my guide, my source of inspiration. It is not even enough that he is my companion on the journey, my friend and my brother. Jesus must be the heart of my heart, the fire of my life, the lover of my soul, the bridegroom of my spirit. He must become my only thought, my only concern, my only desire.” To develop such an intimate relationship with Him requires a commitment, prioritizing our time so that we come to truly know Him. Life is full of distractions which demand our attention. Can we create time every day to sit with Christ and only with Him, dwelling in His love and being filled with His peace and joy. May we discover Him as the lover of my soul, the fire of my life, the heart of my heart!
