That was the soalan Jesus asked the women at the well, as anda 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 anda for a favor today?
anda can respond like so many others do and say 'just leave me alone, I don't need you' and he probably would. anda look at him just like one of these annoying insurance sales men that really don't want to leave anda alone until they got anda to either buy something from them atau throw something at them.
But Jesus is not this kind of guy. He simply asks anda for a favor and gives anda an opportunity that will be for your own benefit in the end. Come on, it's no secret that the world is careless, best Friends disappear when they are needed the most and the ones anda Cinta will eventually kick anda in the teeth.
Yeah right, and now anda 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 anda in a way that is hard to believe. Your father might have been hard with anda and your mother was never there for you, but the Cinta and acceptance that anda will experience in His presence is amazing.
anda don't need to proof anything. anda don't need to pretend to be someone that you're not. anda don't need to be perfect. Just face the crap in your hati, tengah-tengah 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. anda see, there are a lot of preachers out there that preach api, kebakaran and brimstone and how sinful anda are and that anda are a miserable rotten sinner. But quite honestly, anda knew that before. That is not good news!
The good news is that anda 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 yu, ikan jerung that doesn't care for you, but he gave everything up, including his own life, to make it possible for anda to have a better and eternal life. When was the last time anda saw a sales man selling all his own stuff to give anda money to buy what anda wanted? I have never seen someone like that! But that is exactly what Jesus did. He gave all He had to give anda all anda 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 hati, tengah-tengah and asks anda for a favor. Instead of ignoring Him, open your hati, tengah-tengah wide and anda will end up having lebih than He has requested from you.
Trust him for once and say something like: 'Jesus, I'm quite a wreck and I ask anda to forgive my sins. Please come and pour your Cinta into me'. What anda will experience will be lebih than just another moment of your life, but anda will encounter the true power of God. anda will feel a difference and anda 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. anda will NOT just be a puppet of God, but a man empowered sejak God. Problems don't just disappear, but He will help anda through and make anda a way.
Be blessed.
