(Easter is coming. I really feel for Jesus as he struggled in the Garden of Gethsemane. It really shows his humanness. I don't know how he did it... ❤️❤️)
My eyes are held by the form of a man. Crumpled with grief and distress. Pouring out his heart as he grips the earth under his fingers. "My heart is so sad, I feel like I'm dying! Please stay awake with me..." But his friends are exhausted... and sleeping. Unaware of his pain.
Alone, he struggles. He sees his future and he fears the moments ahead. He knows he will be beaten and broken and abused. He has never known pain like he will know. He will be torn from his greatest love. He will bear the weight of terrible shame and guilt. And he is overwhelmed with the immenseness of his journey!
He begs for release! He knows he could grasp it! But deep inside is the knowledge that this alone will make things right. And while his heart and soul shudders with dread, he bows in submission to the role before him. And his strength drains from him.
