Reflecting further on my life with Jesus on the Cross I often forget that first and foremost Jesus is one with the Father, because he gives everything out of love. More than that, he has given me the opportunity to find him in all my limitations, my judgements of others, my physical inabilities, my physical and emotional pain. During these months I had to learn to relax when I get an injection or a line put in my body. If I tense up my muscles any injection is very painful! After a time it now comes natural to relax and when the medical staff warn you about a sharp pain, it is not there!
This made me think of my life with Jesus on the Cross. Dare I say it, but I need to learn to make myself “comfortable” on the cross, my cross that God has given me out of love. Instead of fighting the pain and suffering, avoiding it at all costs, I look at Jesus and go beyond loving the person next to me in the present. It is contrary to all human logic! There is more: Even, if I don’t manage and fall back into my familiar behaviour, in that pain of not managing, of failure I find Jesus on the Cross who asks me to stay with him loving, going beyond! The wonder of God’s love for me is that it never ends and lets me start again all the time. The wonder of God’s love is that is only wants the best for me.
