Agendaless Living
I’ve hardly ever experienced it. Intellectually, I know that I’m supposed to follow Jesus, because He is supposedly Lord of my life, but in my typical day, it’s all about my agenda, my will, and this causes me to be intense, driven, joyless and peaceless unless things momentarily go my way, but even then, I still live with tension in my body. A Jesus-dependent has no agenda of his/her own, except, to follow Jesus. So a Jesus-dependent asks about everything, and thanks about everything. A Jesus-dependent is childlike, clueless about what would be best for self and those s/he loves. The body of a Jesus-dependent needs no medication to relieve tension, stress, because a Jesus-dependent experiences stress-free living. Stress is a fruit of agenda. A Jesus-dependent listens to his body to determine if stress is creeping in. Jesus uses our bodies to help us recognize agenda/willfulness/self-reliance, and our bodies react, rebel, tell us to stoppit, or the stress symptoms will get worse.
