If Jesus had a Twitter account....

I have a love of social networking. One of the things I enjoy about it is the anonymity of it all. If you just curious like some of us are, you can kinda look from the outside at how people live there lives. Do they have the same struggles and triumphs you have, do they have character, and so on.

Twitter

I don't have any celebrities that I follow, however I did stumble onto Jessica Simpson's Twitter. I was fascinated at what I saw. She has 496,000 people following her. She has 25 friends. Wow! 25 friends. That number took me by way more surprise than the other. I'll be a little more dramatic than usual in this blog to get my point across. Yes some of you are asking your self how is that possible right? Ha!

Jessica has 496,000 people that just follow her around in her life. On the outside looking in, not really participating in any of her life struggles. She has 25 people that she can say are her friends. These people have an active part in her life. She probably shares her pain, her fears, her triumphs, her life, with these selective people. She has made relationships, and shared her heart to call these people friends.

If Jesus had a Twitter account......

Would you be a friend or a follower?

There are lots of people out there that say they follow Jesus. That is a very good start. How many of us can say we are his friend? How many of us can say we are having a very intentional relationship with him? Do you go to him with your deepest desires, pains, and praises? Do you have one on one time with him? Do you feel his strength and can you hear his promises in your heart when he says he will leave us?

If you are following him now and you desire to be his friend, that's even better. Jesus is so much more than a person that we merely take quick peeks at from time to time at a far. His love for us is so much greater that he doesn't want us to be on the outside looking in. He wants us to be all in for him. The thing about Jesus and his Twitter is, he is waiting for us to pick him as our friend AND follow him. He has already chosen all of us, won't you choose him?
