frustration or a blessing?

sometimes i find myself getting really frustrated that i never got to see Jesus as a human being, i never got to follow Him around and talk to Him face to face with all of my problems and questions. i was always thankful for the Spirit, but honestly i was a little perturbed that we didnt' get a physical version of God to spend time with...
... and then it hit me. if I were to ever be able to spend time with the physical nature of God, namely Jesus, i probably wouldn't get the time with Him that i wanted. i'm not the only person who would want to spend time with Him i am sure! and as a physical human being, he'd be limited in the same way we are. i probably would be even more frustrated that i only got to talk to Him for 20 seconds today7, and i didn't even get to tell Him my long laundry list of questions i need answered now! i don't want to fight over my Jesus' time. i want to have Him when i want Him. well, that's what we get with the Holy Spirit! the very being of God with us... all the time! no, He might not be a physical being, but He is even better than a physical being because we get to keep Him with us at all times! how cool is that! God is way smarter than i am :-) and i like it that way.
