I Broke up with Jesus
Because sometimes I just wanted a glass of water
My name is Mary, no not THAT Mary everybody associates with Jesus. I am younger than Mary Magdalene by several years. She never dated Jesus although she has had a big crush on him since the first day they met.
I started dating Jesus when he turned 29, just before he gave up his carpentry work for his current job. For the past 2 years, he is assisted by 12 people he calls His “disciples” and others who believe he is the Son of God.
To me, he was just a really nice, handsome, hard-working man. We met while He was making a new boat for my father. When Jesus finished He asked if I would like to go fishing the next day. That’s how it started.
He was a great guy, the perfect boyfriend. All my girlfriends thought I was crazy when I told them I ended it with Jesus. So why did I break up with Him? Because he was PERFECT! He always knew the right thing to say or do or not do when I was sad, angry or complaining. That wasn’t the main reason, although it did drive me crazy when he would just get that sweet all-knowing look on His face.
Before I could tell Him why I was angry or upset He would say “ I understand” and I knew He really did! Then He gives one of His stock answers of ‘turn the other cheek’ or ‘love thy neighbor’ or ‘forgive them seventy times seven’.
