Jesus Speaking Today- Surprises

Here is a post/chapter out of my book Jesus Speaking Today. This is Jesus speaking in this post

Surprise

Being surprised is a wonderful part of life. When you
can go on with what you are doing and someone or something surprises you, it can bring a special joy to your heart. Life has good and bad surprises in store of you. The good ones can lift your spirit and put you on cloud nine. A person can come into your life, become a great friend really fast and totally get you, and this can bring you much happiness.

On earth, Mary Magdalene was this to Me. She did not have a past that you would like to write about, but when she came and repented to Me, it was a sweet thing indeed. Mary was very knowledgeable about schools of thought and philosophy, and she was a very deep thinker. Mary was an exciting person to talk to as she was so hungry and empathetic. She could read My moods and she could set the pace and emotions in her life to match mine and assist Me on both a personal and spiritual level. When I write about Mary and her part in My life on earth now, My eyes still fill with tears because she was such a good gift and surprise to Me from My Father. I was very much alone on earth and Mary was the closest friend I had on earth. Therefore, My Father exalted her into a very high place of authority in Heaven.

There can be many good surprises in life. You can be searching for understanding of a concept in the Bible for many years and then you can watch a series of YouTube videos and have the whole understanding opened up to you in a few hours. You can be desperately lonely and God can bring you a friend on the Internet who becomes so close, so fast. You can be moving out in faith for finances and God can move on people to give to you and shock you with the amount of their giving. There are many good surprises that can be laid up for you in the Kingdom, because you serve a great God!
