Morning by Morning, April 10 - “I Have Seen the Lord!” Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my face and open up my heart to seek You in the morning and abide in You throughout the moments of my day. ... “Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: ‘I have seen the Lord!’ And she told them that He had said these things to her” (John 20:18) Some have a testimony that they’ve always been so close to Jesus and hardly ever committed any sins. I think my testimony is a little more like Mary Magdalene--“out of whom (Jesus) had driven seven demons” (Mark 16:9). Demons of pride, vainglory, self-righteousness, insecurity, fear, impurity, criticism can be just as wicked and destructive as any others. But Mary Magdalene--with all her former issues, with all her former spiritual and emotional baggage from her former identity--got to be the first to see the resurrected Jesus! And she couldn’t wait to run and tell everybody else all the good news! Like Mary, now we can seek You and see You, pursue You and run in our hearts to go share the good news of who You are and all You have done. No matter our past, no matter our struggles for identity, no matter our spiritual battles, in Your resurrection power You can set us free from all that would hold us back from being all You created us to be! We can see You move in power in our lives. Then we can go tell everybody, “I have seen the Lord!” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
