A Daily Devotional About the cry of the
multitudes for spiritual life: Luke 15:24 'For this son of
mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' (NIV) Matthew 9:36 When he saw
the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless,
like sheep without a shepherd. (NIV) "We
are the multitudes. Please hear our cry. We are not consumed with a passion
taking us elsewhere. We are consumed only with a passionless preference to be
set free from the deadness of our life. We are consumed with the passion to be
set free from the deadness of our soul. We are consumed with the passion to be
set free from the deadness of our heart. We have no passion left. We want help
but we cannot express our need. We are broken but we cannot cry out." Some people
believe physical death is final. Some people believe physical death is the end
of us spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Some people believe physical
death results in the total non-existence for the person who died. Some people
believe physical death is the utter darkness where all things cease to exist.
There is, for many people, even when they are physically alive, a death of their
spirit. When we experience spiritual death, we perceive we are in a place where
we are imprisoned yet there are no bars or prison gates. When we experience
spiritual death, we perceive we have nothing in our future and nothing in our
past. When we experience spiritual death, we cannot cry out, for no one will
hear us. However, within you, the touch of God keeps your heart beating and your
mind thinking. Even in what you think is the deadness of your spirit, there is
no deadness. For within what you think is the deadness of your spirit is a tiny
spark called the touch of God. The touch of God within you can expand and touch
every part of your being. In His touch you will find freedom, joy, peace, and
life eternal if you belong to Christ. |
