Jesus?

Every day that you are alive, when you carry about your day, your consciousness is being drowned in negative energy. For most people, they are only one slow driver away from being in an emotional chaos. Some people wake up only to arrive in a place with people who bully them and make them feel less of a person. Others have resent in their hearts that is totally justified and understood by all. Some people are in toxic relationships that they are trying to exit but are struggling for various reasons. Many have rude bosses who projects their anger on them. The list goes on and on. To squeeze all the negative energy that each one of us faces in one paragraph is an impossible task.

Imagine with me that Jesus is walking behind you every second of every day. He walks behind you and patiently waits for every drip of negativity that comes you. He hopes that he can be your spiritual garbage collector. Imagine that every angry projection, bad driver, rude customer, toxic lover, mean boss annoyance etc… are constantly projecting these negative balls of energy at you which in return stabs your peace and content. Instead of taking the hit of these little devil balls, you simply hand them off to Jesus and he rids it. What this means is it is not your burdens to bear.

Unnecessary Suffering-resent

You don’t deserve to be resentful for someone else’s bad behavior. How odd, that by holding on to resent and negative energy from someone, even when it’s justified, the only real loser is yourself? How unfortunate that if someone directly attacks you with the sharp sword of mean words, they not only hurt you in that moment, but for the rest of that week? Or year? Or even lifetime? Let this honestly sink in, for this moment with me. Resent stabs you twice: once in that moment and another with it attaching to your conscious.

Allow me to use the simplest, bold hypothetical example. Imagine with me that you are walking down the road with your significant other. You see another individual ahead. As you walk, they randomly decide to attack whatever insecurity you have in your mind. It almost feels like they KNEW what you were insecure about and screams it to you verbally. Not only that, but it’s quite obvious that they want you to feel upset or hurt. Embarrassment is their end goal here. Your subconscious mind screams to 1. physically fight 2. verbal argue 3. walk away but hold onto this event for the entire night and week. I’d toss all my dice on the fact that any individual with their significant others will fall into one of these three categories almost every time. I randomly put a “significant other” in this scenario because an individual’s pride is only that much more felt with them around. The subconscious craving to fight back is potent as you face this direct negative projection on your ego and self-security. This is a prime example of facing direct bad energy.

What can we do other than these three reactions here? Easy: simply skip all three reactions above and immediately do a handoff to Jesus. I mean from the second this angry individual tosses this bad energy at you the handoff occurs. Jesus takes it and retires it, so you don’t need to feel it. What does this mean for you? It means we can actually add a fourth reaction…not feeling any anger, resent or fear at all. I mean this, literally. In a beautiful way, the peace we felt before this encounter would not be touched in any way, shape, or form because you hand off to Jesus from the beginning. What this means is you smile in that moment, and you carry about your evening, not obsessing over this negative event. You have deep peace as if it never even occurred. Now do me a mental favor and use this same logic to literally every negative feeling you have in life. Toss it off to Jesus and be happy. PERIOD. It’s such a simple concept that is a reality if we allow it. Just imagine a quick handoff to Christ, letting go of all of those negative feelings you do not deserve. He deeply desires this handoff. He is behind you, looking at you hold onto negativity for no reason other than lacking trust or awareness? Let go and trust.

How often do we as humans hold on to our bad energy? How many of us have resent? How many of us seek some sort of retaliation to someone’s rude words or actions? How many of us suffer from anxiety or simply fear of what is next in this existence? Jesus patiently stands behind us, waiting for us to give him these negative energies, so we don’t have to feel it. How often do we grip our resent or bad energy tightly, while he looks and waits? How often we hold on to anxiety with both hands, close to our chest when we simply don’t have to? We quite literally have a spiritual handover that can be accessed at any given second that we aren’t using, which in return causes our minds to be filled with resent, fear and anger.

Jesus trusts you… he trusts that you will trust him. Somewhat of a funny play on words, we know that he is only as good as our faith is in him. Remember he didn’t say he wants us to put our burdens on him just to sound trendy or to fit into social norms. It is his words that have been passed down for thousands of years because it is the reality of peace in this existence.

Spiritual reality overlaps this reality and it’s up to us to communicate, interact and comprehend its potent value-
