I don’t have a deep or well-thought out discussion on the topic of resurrection, but I am meditating on it today. A friend recently reunited with his girlfriend, and it seems like the right move. (Who knows really, but in this case it seems good.) As he told me the story of his battle to go after her, I couldn’t help but think it was a resurrection of sorts. Their romantic relationship died, but now it’s alive.
I’m just gonna free-write now, whatever thoughts come to mind.
In my life, I’ve always been willing to move on, to do something new. New is good. New doesn’t have a past or carry offenses. New I can trust. New isn’t devoid of problems or flaws. But, it is exciting. New is full of possibilities and wonder.
I think a more mature understanding of new is aware flaws will be exposed, limitations realized, and eventually disappointment will come.
Resurrection is aware of limits and flaws. And yet, it is new. Resurrection carries with it a renewed hope based in reality, not fantasy. It is a different kind of miracle. And, I am blessed to know the newness and the resurrection power of God in this season. This is love too.
(No. I am not aiming this meditation at anything or anyone.) With my friend’s reunion in mind, I took my thoughts to the Lord. If I am to let people or a situation back into my life, how I am to know what it good and right? As I prayed last night, the Lord repeated His recent request “Stay with me. In all things.”
On a more humorous note: I do believe I will never darken the backdoor of restaurant or food business again. I have supreme confidence in the reality my food service days are done. I feel extreme peace about it. LOL
