Yellow submarine

It's been an interesting day and all that, but really I just had this thought I wanted to share with you.

Jesus Loves YOU. And he loves ME.

So I'm getting sick again (yes again :/ ) and I wouldn't be surprised if it's because of the constant contact with stuff in the subway lines etc. Anyways, the point being, I'm getting sick again and there's a Typhoon (or "Typhou" in japanese) that's hitting and the school is likely closed tomorrow as well as it was today. And again I got sick at just the right time that if everything works out exactly right, (this happens so often...) although I'll lose a few days, I would have lost them anyways because there's a typhoon and the school is probably going to be closed. Last time it was a friday I got sick, and I was better again by Tuesday (which is when we start evangelism for the week)

The thought that is going through my head is that, what if, all the weather on this planet is being orchestrated to match my sickness (or vice versa, but does it really matter?) so Jesus can say to me, "I Love you" ?

I don't know what all he's doing, but it just clicked to me that he already did something greater and died for me. Then rose again. He didn't just reset me at the place of Adam and say "you're clean again, try it again" but instead "Your sin is mine, and my clean is yours. You can't be affected by that sin again."

It's like I'm a submarine coated in RainX. If I just got the courage to pull out of the mire of sin I wallow in, all of it would bead up and roll off, and all anyone would see would be Jesus. I'm only surrounded in sin because I choose to. It can't stick to me anymore.


But then it's more, I'm clean but that's not all. Just realizing he would do everything to tell me AGAIN that he loves me, Isn't that cool? He would stop time, make the entire world standstill just to whisper in my ear again. "I Love you"



So I'm sick, and It's raining, and it's probably about to get really nasty outside, not to mention ruin our schedule for ANOTHER day. But what if it's something else? What if I'm sick because he's trying to teach me something? What if the weather is just right so that he can show me love, and that I won't get to miss out on evangelism even though I got sick? That he's watching my back, and just because he's training me to rise out of the mire, he's not going to make me miss out? What if everyone else gets to be in the same boat and look at the one who loves us and learn to sit tight, listening at His feet, because he's got it all under control?

What if it's all love?

"And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”"

"But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
