Day 43 Library of Compassion

February 16
Day 43


Jesus is a complete mush. He is someone you want to keep shoving along. He stops, all the time. He cares, too much. And it gets to you. C'mon keep moving.

"I'm really hungry. Can we just go to the next town?"

"Lynne, let's feed these people."

"Jesus, this is impossible?"

"I know, for you. Not for Me. You can do this."

"How?"

"Believe who I say I AM."

Jesus goes the extra mile and it gets to you after a while.  When is He going to crumble? When will His inconsistencies surface? How can He keep this up? And where the heck does He go? He just leaves. But His mark as a human is indelible and His effect on the world as God irreversible.

The Library of Congress becomes a minuscule drop to what they say about the amount of books that could have been filled with all that Jesus did. The Bible is a pitiful leaflet (poor comparison) compared to the fact that "...were every one (of the many things Jesus did) to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that could be written." Jn. 21:21. The Library of Congress would become the Library of Compassion.
