Jesus Pusher 136

I am a Jesus pusher!!! God has an awesome plan. Jesus is the plan! Let me illustrate this with the young man who is desperately in love. His dream is not simply of a person to maintain his household; he could hire a maid for such a purpose. His plan is not just someone to “mother” his future children; he could hire a nanny. His wish is not just for companionship; he could secure an escort. At the core of his nature and being is all we conceive in marriage. It is all the above only with the cement of intimacy and oneness. It is not a plan he has which someone else can fulfill in his absence. Love demands the presence of the young man in the midst of the plan and dream. In fact, in a real sense, he is the plan.

Jesus is the plan and dream of God! The plan is not a project; the plan is not a venture. The plan is not an attempt or experiment. God does not have a plan apart from us. He descended from His throne to become one of us. Now we see that He is the dream and the plan. Everything God dreamed for us is found in Jesus. I am to be found in Him. In speaking of the fulfillment of the plan, Jesus said, “I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you,” (John 14:20). This is the ultimate of relationship. Love is fulfilled in oneness. While we may care for the house, watch over the children, and cook the meals, we are in the embrace of the One who loves us. We are in His plan. Jesus is the plan. I am a Jesus pusher!!!
