Gethsemane

Wrote about my desert experience here, here and here. Talked about it to a very dear friend.

My friend wrote:
You know the "euphoria"? It's very easy to fall for the feeling of being with the Lord than being with the Lord... being with the Lord includes Gethsemane too. That's where it's toughest.

Thanks for putting me back on track, my dearest friend.
Indeed, I have to remind myself of the reality of my relationship with God - much like falling in love - the 'euphoria' is only momentary - perhaps sometimes even self-induced?; the plateaus - they stabilize the relationship; Gethsemane - that's the real part of loving coz that's when one actually carries the cross / the burden together with one's loved one. Ahhh but like you say - that's the toughest part. Still, if one stays faithful, as God is faithful (thru all the Gethsemanes) - then that love will shine thru for others to see?
