They make you tense, rob you of sleep, stress you out and paralyze your productivity. I wonder why I let them hang around.
The two Marys came sorrowful to the tomb to anoint Jesus's body after his death. What great love and loyalty they had. The service they wanted to perform was the only thing left they could do for a dead man. They kept worrying about how they would get to the body since there was a huge stone sealing the tomb of Jesus. But when they arrived the stone was rolled away and they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. The man said "Do not be amazed; ...He is risen !!!
I have missed so many opportunities in my life because I let fear and worry about some "stone" keep me from doing the thing in my heart I knew I wanted to do for the Lord. How about you? Are you grieving over some loss in your life and worrying about your future? God was already at work in the situation before they arrived and their service was not even needed. Instead they received the good news that Jesus was alive. What a turn of events. God loves to surprise us with his goodness. Let the announcement of the resurrection fill your heart with hope and joy. The Stone Has Been Rolled Away!!!
