Alone is good!
Soul Snack 9/168 ... Alone with Jesus - A
Deliverance,healings and preaching had wearied these dishevelled disciples. Successhad lifted their spirits while work had wearied their bodies. Wiselythey returned to Jesus. After work then comes withdrawal with Jesus.
For refreshment and repair they left with Jesus to a desired seclusion. These robust men required rest.
Whenthe apostlesreturned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Thenhe took themwith him and they withdrew by themselves ... Lk 9:10
Alone with Jesus, heaven scented refeshment is received.
Alone with Jesus I will receive the call to higher and harder living.
Alone with Jesus I see the thorn pierced scalp, I hear the cries from the Cross and smell the bleeding hands.
Alonewith Jesus I my stillness and silence is shattered with forgiveness,the gasp of release and the eternal blessing of understanding.
Alone with Jesus I realise, He still knows that I do sins that I still don't know.
Alone with Jesus I learn anew that He still won't even hold those sins against me!
