A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.

People who are obsessed are raw with God they do not attempt to mask the ugliness of their sins or their failures. Obsessed people don't put it on for God He is their safe place, where they can be at peace.
