Our Affection
When I stop & look at Jesus’ face in my minds eye (I call this my ‘imagination eyes’ to our kids) something moves in my heart, emotions, mind and even body…. I literally feel a ‘warmth,’ a comfort, deep sense of being loved & seen and known & safe… it’s honestly the best! Whatever is going on for me - however things are difficult, I find peace and comfort in this ‘posture’. I find it really helps me to visualise Jesus - this moves my heart more than if I just talk (pray) without visualising. It’s so good for us to then ‘pour our affections’ onto Him - there is something sooo intrinsically healthy for the human soul & spirit to ‘love on’ & show our deep gratitude to someone else - moving our attention from ourselves & onto Him.
I have a friend who used to ‘do life consciously with Jesus’ but doesn’t any more. She is a psychiatrist and loves to now call Jesus my ‘imaginary freind’. Lol! I guess, my picture in my minds eye may be WAY off what Jesus looks like in the flesh, but it’s more of a ‘spirit to spirit’ looking - rather than really defined physical features. I’d love to know what you see if you ever worship Him too - it fascinates me how different we are at relating to God between those of us who seek this… I could take a step back and physiologically analyse this - perhaps even as some form of ‘make belief’ as I visualise Him - but the reality of my sense of deep belonging, the comfort, the wisdom I’ve found in Jesus - which lines up with the experience of millions of other Jesus followers throughout generations, would take more ‘faith’ for me to deny Him!
I love this song ‘Jesus we love You’ written by Paul and Hannah McClure, - especially the lines, “our affection our devotion poured out on the feet of Jesus”… it helps me engage my spirit & visualise pouring myself & my ‘affections’ out to Him as I sing. Try it if you haven’t already - & we’d love to hear how you get on :) x
