Turning 30

Jesus, you too turned 30.

You would leave your hometown

You would leave your mom

You would leave your friends

Jesus, you too turned 30

You would enter the desert

You would be tempted

You would be hungry

Jesus, you too turned 30

You would be invited to a wedding

You would call your disciples

You would meet new friends

You would heal the lame

Jesus, you too turned 30

You would cry over his death

You would be questioned

You would be doubted

You would be praised

Jesus, you too turned 30

You would be transfigured

You would be teaching

You would be forgiving

You would be healing

Jesus, you too turned 30

Jesus, you weren't called to reveal yourself as the Son of God until you were 30. It wasn't until you were 30 years old that the Father called you into the desert. It wasn't until you were 30 that Father entrusted you with the 12. It wasn't until you were 30 that you would heal, forgive, prophesy, preach, teach and challenge. Why not before? Why not later?

Jesus, help me trust in the Father's perfect timing instead of my imperfect planning.
