I rarely talk about it. I feel confused in how to cope with it myself.
God, you accept me as I am. To you I give my life. You know Jesus I would have been with you sleeping on that boat while the waves were crashing.
Matthew 8:24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but Jesus was asleep.
Although I also would have been with the disciples sleeping as you suffered in the garden.
Matthew 26:40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?"
Jesus, I would have tried with all my might yet I too could not even keep watch with you for just one hour. I'd say, 'sorry' but my Lord you know above all I truly do strive to love you and do so because I know you my God have loved me first.
I have found a friend in Eutychus who like myself sleeps during those sermons. The humor in that moment doesn't go unnoticed to me...
Acts 20:9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
It's a good thing Paul brought Eutychus back to life. There are indeed moments when I am as well.
