Jesus not only loves us — He thirsts for us. Why does He say “I thirst”? What does it mean? It’s something so hard to explain in words. I thirst is something much deeper than Jesus just saying, “I love you”. Mother Teresa tells us how much love Jesus has for each of us — beyond all that we can imagine. In her words “Not only He loves you, even more, He longs for you. He misses you when you don’t come close. He thirsts for you. He loves you always, even when you don’t feel worthy”
This fourth and last part of this series talks about Jesus’s experience of us and our first step to begin to know who He wants to be for us, or who Jesus wants us to be for Him.

There’s a particular part of Jesus’s life for which we get to be these witnesses only a few times…

Surrender the Script
There’s this simplicity that when we encounter Jesus, our lives become different. We may not understand it, and it might not look the same for each of us, but our lives become different. Just like the story of the man born blind, before he met Jesus and hoped in Him, he was living in darkness, unable to see. After his encounter, there had been healing, and he…
