I will never understand, why I'm supposed to be afraid of you.

// still here...ish. Tomodachi Life is taking over a bit since it released, plus I'm on other muses atm too. I'll try to sit down and do what I owe, maybe this weekend if I get a chance. But also consider this a low-activity post as well. May is fast approaching, and that's usually when my job begins to pick up for most of the summer until early fall. I'll still poke in every so often, but just know that's coming up.

Maybe that was because He saw you… Right there in the middle of a world that isn’t fair.

In Luke 22, we find Jesus wrestling with the plans of crucifixion His Father God has given Him. In His humanity, He pleaded to be delivered. Luke leaves us with only these words from the prayer time Jesus had in the Garden of Gethsemane:

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” (Luke 22:42, NIV)

Jesus, the carpenter, pleads with the Father: “Can’t there be another way?” Jesus pleaded for an exit from what needed to be done. But Jesus, the Son of God, knew what must be done—what only He can do.

He has just reminded the disciples that “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Luke 22:46, NIV)

Jesus could have turned His back on the whole plan. He could have said to God, “No, I don’t want this cup! I choose not to do what you want.” He could have smashed that cup, the broken pieces laying in the sand near the rock where He prayed.

There would be no salvation through the cross. How our lives would have changed had this been His choice. But He couldn’t do that. Instead, Jesus held it up with His hands open: “But please, not what I want. What do you want?”

Jesus chooses to trust His heavenly Father. He chooses to surrender what He wants.

Maybe that was because He saw you… Right there in the middle of a world that isn’t fair.

He saw you cast into a river of life you didn’t request.

He saw you betrayed by those you love. He saw you with a body that gets sick and a heart that grows weary and weak.

He saw you in your own Garden of Gethsemane—and He didn’t want you to be alone.

He knows what it is like to be plotted against.

He knows what it is like to be confused.

He knows what it is like to be torn between two desires.

And, perhaps most of all, He knows what it is like to plead with God to change His mind, then to hear God say so gently but firmly: “No.”

Friend, take a moment to acknowledge that there are things that might make you deny the cup God has given you.

By God’s design and His sovereignty, your cup is full of blessings and hardship.

Blessings are easy to hold up to God. Hardship, suffering, and injustice take sacrifice to lift up to God and say, “Not what I want, but what you want.”

Because Jesus trusted His Father, He was able to lift His cup to God.

Friend, in what areas of life do you need to trust your Heavenly Father?

What is one thing in your life that you wouldn’t have chosen, but you feel God is calling you to have?

Take the whole cup and imagine that it holds that unchosen thing. Lift the cup and let your heavenly Father hear you say: “I may not want what’s in my cup, but by your grace I can say, ‘Not what I want. What do you want?’”

You are a miracle!
