That was the domanda Gesù asked the women at the well, as te read in John 4:7. Why would Gesù need man to do him a favor in the first place? Is He not the Almighty God who can do whatever He wants? So why would He need to ask a foreign women to give Him some water? Why would He ask te for a favor today?
te can respond like so many others do and say 'just leave me alone, I don't need you' and he probably would. te look at him just like one of these annoying insurance sales men that really don't want to leave te alone until they got te to either buy something from them o throw something at them.
But Gesù is not this kind of guy. He simply asks te for a favor and gives te an opportunity that will be for your own benefit in the end. Come on, it's no secret that the world is careless, best Friends disappear when they are needed the most and the ones te Amore will eventually kick te in the teeth.
Yeah right, and now te try to tell me that the church is any different? Well, I wish. But to be honest, it's probably not the truth. But I believe that God himself is really different. He doesn't push, he doesn't condemn. He really loves te in a way that is hard to believe. Your father might have been hard with te and your mother was never there for you, but the Amore and acceptance that te will experience in His presence is amazing.
te don't need to proof anything. te don't need to pretend to be someone that you're not. te don't need to be perfect. Just face the crap in your cuore and be honest with Him. Tell Him something simple like 'I know that I'm full of crap and I can't change it.'. He will still listen. te see, there are a lot of preachers out there that preach fuoco and brimstone and how sinful te are and that te are a miserable rotten sinner. But quite honestly, te knew that before. That is not good news!
The good news is that te don't have to stay like that. Gesù can transform your life and make it worth living again. That's the good news! He just needs your approval. He's not a selfish sales squalo that doesn't care for you, but he gave everything up, including his own life, to make it possible for te to have a better and eternal life. When was the last time te saw a sales man selling all his own stuff to give te money to buy what te wanted? I have never seen someone like that! But that is exactly what Gesù did. He gave all He had to give te all te want. That is real love! It is hardly found in people today, but it is found in Him.
When He knocks at door of your cuore and asks te for a favor. Instead of ignoring Him, open your cuore wide and te will end up having più than He has requested from you.
Trust him for once and say something like: 'Jesus, I'm quite a wreck and I ask te to forgive my sins. Please come and pour your Amore into me'. What te will experience will be più than just another moment of your life, but te will encounter the true power of God. te will feel a difference and te will be starting into a true adventure and into a life that is worth living.
'OK, and where is the small print?' Here it is:'Life is not just easy because of Jesus, but it is never hopeless. te will NOT just be a puppet of God, but a man empowered da God. Problems don't just disappear, but He will help te through and make te a way.
Be blessed.
