Encounter jesus
Think about the time in your life before you knew Jesus, or maybe after you knew Jesus but you were wandering or struggling. During those times, did Jesus ever reveal something to you that you didn’t even know you needed? I know that’s happened to me. It’s kinda like how we talked about Him being unexpected. There have been plenty of times when I’ve come to Him wanting Him to help me maybe deal with someone who’s being annoying or frustrating to me. But the question I didn’t know I needed an answer to turned out to be, “What is it in your heart, that needs to change in the way you interact with this person? In what ways are you not relying on Me? In what ways are you not believing that the gospel applies to this person? How do you need to focus on being more like Me rather than trying to change this other person?” It’s stuff like that. Jesus is patient and reveals things to us when we need to hear them in ways that we can respond to.
