I have seen the Lord!!!

This is the message excitedly mentioned by Mary Magdalene to the apostles when she saw the Lord at His tomb alive! At first actually she did not recognize Jesus and she mistakenly took him as the gardener who brought Jesus out from His tomb. At this point Mary was so engrossed on her own feeling that she failed to recognized the Lord. HOW EASY IT IS TO MISS THE LORD WHEN OUR FOCUS IS ON OURSELVES?!!!

And it is actually true- specially during good times, when everything is so well and works according to your favor, life is so easy and beautiful. Too focus on this goodness sometimes we fail to see where is the Lord at that point in our life. However, when we experienced sadness and we are so troubled - we sobbed and we even question God or throw Him questions of whys and hows...Isn't it so unfair that we only recognized His presence whenever we are in our downiest moments of our lives?

Such failure of recognition of the Lord presence actually is merely because of our own blackness or unawareness of His presence in our lives. The Lord our God is alive and He is always there in all areas of our lives. The only problem of such failure of noticing His presence is because we are too focus on ourselves - we are block with our own agendas and mindsets - hence we fail to experience or appreciate that the Lord is ever present in our lives.

Focus and know that He is our Lord - the God of our lives and say with all your heart this: I HAVE SEEN THE LORD!
