I watched a new show last night called "dating in the dark" It literally is a blind date. You don't see the person you are meeting at all. The people on the show shared their hearts to one another and connected with each other without knowing what the other person looks like. After a couple of dates they must reveal what they look like to the other person and then determine if they want to pursue a relationship after the show. One woman was initmate with a man that she really was interested in but after she saw what he really look like she wanted nothing to do with him.
Is that how we treat Jesus? When we are alone in the dark we are receptive of the voice of God. It comforts us in spite of our dark circumstances. We cleave to His presence and are drawn by every word He speaks. In our desperate times Jesus is our best friend. We are so passionate and in love with just spending time with Him. We feel so alive in the midst of chaos because of Him.
What happens though when the lights come on? When Jesus reveals Himself do we find Him to be attractive? In the midst of heartache He is our hero but what happens when we are not in the dark and everything is well in our life? It is our choice if we will continue our relationship with Jesus after we have been delivered from darkness. It is our choice if we will be as passionate for His presence when we are not in the midst of a storm. Jesus is waiting for us to choose to pursue a deeper relationship with Him. Jesus is not flashy and captivating like the pleasures of the world. But Jesus loves us unconditionally. He accepts our flaws and our good quality the same. He is not impressed by our beauty but rather our heart. Jesus wants us because He loves us. Will we turn and walk away from Him when we are healed and delivered from our dark situations? It is our choice. My choice is Christ. I want Him because unlike the world He loves me. God bless you.
