The Answer Before her Eyes

Thursday, October 3, 2024

Miriam of Magdala, Mary Magdalene, was standing by a tomb weeping over the death of her Rabbi. When she turned around and saw Him, she didn't realize it was Him. Thinking He was the gardener, she said, "Tell me where you put Him and I'll get Him." He said to her, "Miriam." She answered, "Rabboni," which means my Rabbi. All she could think was that her beloved Rabbi was gone. And yet, He was standing right there beside her. It's easy for us to get bogged down by our problems, or by what we think is missing in our lives, what we don't have, or what we long for. We end up like Miriam, our souls filled with sorrow, wrapped up in what we don't have in our lives, blind to seeing the treasure we do have. If you're saved, don't dwell on what you don't have in your life. For the greatest blessing you could ever know or have in your life, you have. For your beloved Rabbi, the Answer, is standing right beside you. Just open the eyes of your heart and see.
