Day 23: Introvert and/or Extrovert

Jesus was both introverted and extroverted. He was able to exist in the balance between. He went away to ‘recharge’ alone, to spend time with His Father in prayer and reflection. But He was also nourished by the energy of the crowds gathered around Him. He was able to be with the masses and be apart. He seemed to get energy from both and could divert to spend time in both states when needed. More than anything, He knew Himself and could set aside His needs when necessary and defend them at other times.
