Eshan is universally known as the guy that loves Jesus. You cannot have a conversation with him without seeing firsthand the hold the Lord has on his life. He constantly seeks to understand Jesus and know Him more deeply than most anyone I know. He has been a consistent supporter and provider of wisdom not just in my life, but in so many others’ lives. You can’t walk around campus with this one without him saying hi to almost every single person we pass, and that alone is such a testimony to the way he lives to know the depths of others’ hearts and to go where the Lord has called him.
But Jesus. With everything, at the end of the day, I am able to proclaim the name above all names! Jesus. One of my favorite verses: Peter to Jesus in John 6, ‘Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words to eternal life.’ This is a verse I encounter. These eternal words bleed deep on my daily walk. Who else do I go to? He surpasses all my understanding. All of it. He has the words to eternal life, my problems, my future. So, during this time, I sit back and lean in with God, debriefing my thoughts in a lot of ways.
This season is a good one. To be alone, with the Holy Spirit, has let me dig deeper on what it means to be fruitful with my time. I walked outside the other day and saw a squirrel. I went to my kitchen about twenty minutes ago and opened the fridge and saw plentiful food. I currently am sipping on a La Croix, cran-rasberry to be exact. The small things make me come in awe of God’s sovereignty. And throughout, I have been learning what this sovereignty means. The source of my worries and struggles is just a reminder of how they are a broken view of God and His timing. And with that, the Spirit has willingly reminded me that I have already died. The Holy Spirit has shown me countlessly the Holiness of our God and His message. I believe His voice and inherit this eternal promise, trusting Him, who died for my sins, in my salvation for the rest of eternity. Think about eternity. The Spirit has helped me shift my thoughts eternally from my worldly point of view. So, where does my fear and anxiousness belong? The Enemy is well at finding those small gaps and filling it with the what ifs. But Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, as He continues to transform my what-ifs to even-ifs. I am forever sold out to that. I rejoice to that. I rejoice again.
