There’s this crazy episode of “Cops” where this guy is sitting on a sidewalk singing this song that I am sure he made up. (I believe he was wearing a skirt.) It goes: “I got Jesus in my pocket, and a nickel in my shoe, a rock in my other pocket, let me tell you what I’m gonna do.” This guy was very intoxicated at the moment, and getting arrested…. So anyway….
I’ve been thinking about having Jesus in my pocket. It’s convenient. Just call on Him when it works for me, then I put Him back in when I am too busy, or when everything is going well. Or just take Him out on Sunday, whatever works for me. Or, take Him out when I meet a fellow Christian, and share stories about what is going on at our church, or what good deed I did this week – All for “God’s Glory”. How selfish & shallow. I am ashamed. I have turned into a Pharasee.
I remember the first time I really fell in love with Jesus, and I pray that for my life again. I am feeling the beginnings of that relationship with Him beginning to blossom.
