glimmer of light
Saturday April 4th,
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a
loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My
God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" There are times when we feel alone and
abandoned. On the cross, Christ faced
the total abandonment of our love that sin represents. When did you last feel totally alone or
Abandoned? Christ understands. When did you last feel forgotten and
misunderstood? Christ understands. When did you last feel used and abused? Christ understands. Often when we feel most alone, it is not that
God is absent, but rather that we are in such a hole that all we can see is
darkness. Off in the distance there may
be a glimmer of light, but we refuse to acknowledge it. Find a copy of the poem footsteps, read
it. I know it is well worn and
schmaltzy, but there are times it is still worth re-reading. Remember your alone time, and know that God
was with you then and will be with you in your next alone time, and always. Now
read the 23rd psalm.
