We (as worldly beings) seek things in our own terms, not on God’s. We look for the Resurrection without the Cross. In fact we often look to discard the Cross at all costs…the cross of infertility, the cross of loneliness, the cross of longing, we want it GONE and often go to great lengths to accomplish just that. The world tells us that if we only had these things (a baby, this particular relationship) then all in life would be just perfect. Think of the apple in the Garden…it was taken illicitly…and even though it still opened their eyes as was promised, the trust relationship between man and God was broken. Man had to keep on striving to meet his own needs.
The cure then becomes to ‘be still’…stop striving…die already…so that you can be resurrected with Him!
