Really miss Jesus.

[MyLordMySavior]

I know He is with me, and I understand that I cant see, hear, touch, or smell Him. I also understand that I can't talk with Him. I know I can talk to Him through prayer, but not an audible conversation.

I'm just sad because I really really really miss Jesus in the sense that I can't do this. My spirit longs to hug and kiss Jesus. And I am so sad to think that I have another 70-80 years ahead of me! (Since I'm only 16). 70-80 YEARS!? I know it seems short to God, but to me... that is so long without being able to hear His voice or hug Him or anything! I know some people Jesus talks to audibly or hugs them, but I guess, or I am sure, that I'm just not good enough, worthy enough.

I just want to be able to hold Jesus hand or hug Him and lay against Him! Tell Him how much I love Him and talk with Him like He is my ultimate best friend in the Universe! I want to sing and dance with Jesus, I really just want a hug from Him. It makes me soo sad, my life hasn't even started yet and I can't hug Him for such a long long time. How can I make it through? It's like my best friend, true love, father, protector, Savior, and more all being kept from me for my entire life. I know it's not fair to question God... but... why can't He hug me? Why can't He sit on my couch with me so I can just lay next to Him? Why can't I hold His hand when I am scared, or be hugged by Him when I am sad? I know I have friends and family, but that isn't even remotely on the same level. I know God is real, I know know KNOW! I have faith, but I know He is alive...So, why can't He? Or more, appropriately, why won't He?


Jesus I want to hug and kiss you!!!!! I want you to hug and kiss me!!! Why must a spend my entire LIFE without that! I love Jesus sooooooo x100 much! I know I must have patience... but... STILL!!!!


Do you guys have this overwhelming desire too? If you are older, how in the world have you DEALT? Oh, goodness. When I get to Heaven, I really hope Jesus is prepared because when I get up there, I am hugging Him and I am NEVER EVER letting go!

God can tangibly pour His love into our lives so that it fills us and meets every need we have. And it is real and tangible Love. I did not know God could do that until He did with me one night when I desparately needed His intervention in my life, and He poured His Love, real and tangible powerful love into the very depths of my soul, and His Love met every need and hurt I had ever had healing me deeply and it changed me.
He can give us a sense of His Presence in such a real and tangible way that our need for Him is met deeply and we are deeply at peace. I remember one night when I literally was wrapped in a blanket of His Love, it was tangible and literally could feel His love wrapping me up like a blanket, believe me when I say we can literally feel God very close to us and His Presence is Powerful and Strong and His Love fills that need for Him deeply and fully to the depths of our soul.

I would encourage you to talk with God about this, let Him know you would love for Him to show you His love for you in such a way, for your need for Him to be met by Him in His timing. It may not be immediate that He meets you in this way but let me reassure you that He will meet you dear one. God knows your deep longing for Him and He made you to know His Love for you, He created you to know His Love and share it with others. So do ask God to show you His Love for you in a real and tangible way because it sounds like He really wants you to know and experience His Love in a very real way so you will be filled and find this need for Him met by Him which I think is wonderful that you long for Him so much!

In the Bible it says that Jesus said
"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

Be blessed dear one very much

Hi MLMS

's to you little sis.

I have found that I sometimes have moments like these, both when I'm doing fine and when I'm facing the storms in life. When I'm fine I just long for when we can actually walk physically with Him abit like when I'm away from my children and I'm certain I will see them again but I just can't wait. During the storms, it's more a painful yearning but it does pass. But rest assured it's perfectly natural to have times like this when we journey through this fallen world (even Paul had his little moment in 2 Cor 5:8 ), but I know the Lord would not desire for us to be overly sad to where it affects our wellbeing.

I've found keeping myself 'busy' with the Word brings a lot of comfort and prayer time at every opportunity, worshipping him by belting out a few songs with my kids; it diverts my focus onto Him but away from such moments when I feel sad that I can't be with Him. It helps to build within me an anticipation similar to the build up to Christmas or one's birthday when - with excitement and thanksgiving - one looks forward to the time when we'll be with Him. With these activities though the Lord gave me a precious 'gold nugget' in the form of Psalm 37:7 which says

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!

When I read my Bible I usually find a time in the day when I have no other distractions. I use to sit in my car waiting for my daughter to finish school, or I would go out in the garden, when everyone else was still asleep in the morning. I'd find a time and a place where I can just "be still" (as in not focusing on my day to day activities/worries) and then I'd have that quiet time with Him.

Sometimes we picture that the Lord will talk to us in a way that our minds are accustomed to such as in accordance with our five senses, but sometimes He will make Himself known in our spirit during those times when we are still.

I just also wanted to add that you can certainly talk to Him and by the truth of His Word He hears you. Psalm 66:17 and 19 shows us that.

I hope that helps some. Be blessed today.

You have had some really great replies and responses thus far but something I would like to interject if I can is that Jesus says in John chapter 14 that those who love Him, He will reveal Himself too. So while you may not be able to physically hug Jesus, it is entirely possible for you to see Him and feel Him. In that same chapter He also promises that those who love Him will be loved by His Father and they both will come and live in that person. The only thing He requires is that you keep His commands to show you love Him. If you love me keep my commandments. So take heart, Jesus knows your heart and He is waiting to reveal Himself to you. As John says in 1 John 4, those who live in love, live in God and God in them. And as God lives in you, you will grow more complete in love for you will be as Jesus in this world. So you can have what you seek if you are willing to obey. Be blessed!

When Jesus was preparing to leave as His time was getting close.

He started preparing His disciples for His departure.

He told them that He was leaving.

This upset them.

They had spent their time with Him for about 3 years.

He was the best thing that had ever happened to them.

They had become dependent upon Him and now He was telling them that He was going to leave.

He also told them that it was profitable for them if He left.

They did not understand that.

How could it be more profitable for them if He left.

They had Him there in person where they could touch Him, talk to Him, even hug Him.

But He told them that it was better for them if He left.

The reason Jesus said was because He would send them another comforter and that this comforter that He would send would be with them forever.

This comforter would also, Jesus said, be in them.

Consider this.

Even though Jesus was in Person with them if they wanted to talk to Him they had to wait.

They had to wait until He was through teaching to the people.

Then maybe He was talking to one of the other disciples and they had to wait there turn.

He was in high demand so time with Him would be precious.

But Jesus said He was sending them another comforter which is the Holy Spirit and that He would be in them.

That means for us that He is available to us 24/7/365.

Anytime we need help.

The amplified bible defines the word comforter as:

John 14:16
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever — AMP

I think the best overall word to describe Him is Helper.

He is our Helper in everything we do if we allow Him to Help.

Get to know Him.

He is our guide, teacher, Helper.

He will fill that void with his Presence in your life.

First off, realize that absolutely no one is worthy of God. So don't ever think you are less worthy than anyone else-we're all in the same boat.

Second, at 16 and already having such love for the Lord is amazing-what a great way to start life.

Third, no one really hears an audible voice or gets a physical hug from the Lord. But there are times when His Spirit's voice in us is so clear it almost seems audible. And there are times in worship and prayer when His Presence seems so real it seems like a hug. These things will come. Jesus promised that whoever thirsts and hungers after Him will be satisfied. Jesus also uses us as His hands and voice. So many times when someone speaks an encouraging or comforting word to us, we genuinely are hearing an audible voice from the Lord. Same with hugs. Jesus says whatsoever you do for the least, you have done it for me as well.

And finally, when you pray and worship the Lord, ask Him to help you tune in to the ways He commmunicates to your spirit. He will teach you to hear His voice within. God is spirit, so we need to learn how to relate to Him in spirit and truth rather than seek after physical manifestations. You will ocassionally have a real physical experience, but its not what we should seek after - there are some dangers if we let that become too much of our goal and focus.

God bless.
