Luke 24: 4- 6 …While
they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in
dazzling clothing; and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces
to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among
the dead? "He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to
you while He was still in Galilee,…
I was reading my devotionals this morning and this passage
hit me hard; more specific, the question “why do you seek the living one among
the dead?” I did not take the question
in the context of the crucifixion. I
applied the question to my personal life and I was seriously taken aback
because I had to really look at the question. I seem to attract/be attracted
people who are emotionally unavailable – looking among the dead. I tend to
trigger the verbally abusive character defect in a person’s nature – looking among
the dead. I tend to settle for whatever emotional crumbs someone is willing to
throw me – looking among the dead. I try too hard to “fix” people – looking among
the dead….
The enemy uses all of these things to take my focus off God;
all of these things are my Gethsemane.
Keep in mind that Gethsemane is the place
where you come face to face with sin. The place of final temptation. Gethsemane
is also the gateway to a new life……….
How ya livin’?!
