Drawn to Jesus

Morning: Psalms 137:1-6, Psalm144; Job 3:1-26; Acts 9:10-19a
Evening: Psalm 104; John 6:41-51

I did not one day decide to follow Jesus; I was ‘drawn’ by him.  C.S. Lewis says he was “decided upon”.  What attracts me is that Jesus so often befuddles me – saying things like ‘I am bread’.  Then I must decide … try to make sense of it, or judge it to be nonsense.  I am glad I was drawn to Jesus … he doesn’t make things simple, nor give me everything I want.  His life is, in many ways, a mystery, but, oddly enough, a mystery that makes sense to me … Does that make sense to you?
