While listening to my local church pastor during the altar call, I heard the phrase "Jesus wants to see you." In that moment, the Holy Spirit infused those words with life, expanding and resonating deeply in my heart.
As young people, when discussing love interests or friendships, we often say, "I'm seeing this person." When you hear this phrase, what comes to mind? For many, it could mean spending time with someone, getting to know them, hanging out, or even meeting for work or a specific purpose (e.g., "I'm seeing a client"). Others may think of developing a deeper understanding or connection, whether platonic or romantic.
The deeper reality behind these meanings emphasizes that Jesus doesn't just want to see us in a literal sense; He wants to know us intimately and personally.
When we reflect on the statement "Jesus wants to see you," we must ask ourselves: Can He truly see us? There are moments when we might believe His eyes are fixed on us, while our hearts wander elsewhere, perhaps even to another love.
In a relationship, spending quality time together is important to maintain a genuine connection. When was the last time you hung out with Him? When did you last share your life moments, enjoying each other's company? In response, He says, "I stand at the door of your heart; if you hear Me, open the door so I can come in and be with you."
(Revelation 3:20)
The Message (MSG) Bible translation reads: "Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you."
In this relationship, He chooses you and prioritizes you above all else. But does Jesus see you? Or have you, perhaps, stepped away from His heart?
Stay Revived!
