Jesus.

I just want to take a second and talk about Jesus. I am doing this because he has changed my life. [and my attitude, thoughts and words]

If I could describe Jesus to you, I would tell you that he is not just a concept, but a companion. He is not just a teacher, but my personal leader.

I want to be like him, and I aspire to shape my life into one that looks like his.
SACRIFICE
that's what Jesus did.
every time I think of the word I get a chill. It's such a strong emotion that It overwhelms me.

This is closely related to LOVE. [It's the strongest emotion, and the strongest action]

I want to Love Jesus.
I think we would all agree, that to love requires first knowing.
Knowing him is something that is not easy. After all, how do you get to know someone who you can't physically see or audibly hear?

_*For me, this is how it goes*_
I Talk to him. TELL HIM EVERYTHING. more than I would tell anyone. [this is something I've only started to do recently. Sometimes I write it down. It helps.]
Listen. it's hard. listen to what he is saying.
I Read his word and ask him to speak through it. [and I ask questions about it.]

*****************
I want to know you.
please show me how.
me and the trees are here on earth.
How can I know the creator of us both.
and his son.

I want to follow you
but my life is crowded
with nothing new
everything old
I'm clouded
by a thick fog of distraction
clear the fog
show me you
[I don't wanna be better than other people, just to follow you out of love]
