Masochistic? Yes.
As Jose and I slammed some beers at his place I explained to him my plans for my execution. I will crucify myself I told him. That much is true. I don't want to live this life any longer than I have too.
This has all been a dream and a trial. I think about twenty-two years. And then I think about the history of the world and how insignificant a little nothing-doing snot-nosed brat like myself has been and will be in the conclusion.
So I have prayed for years now the same prayer. It hasn't been until recently that I really meant the words I spoke to Him in the darkness "Lord show me myself. Lord Christ crucify. I will bear the weight of such a small cross."
Ask and you shall receive- I was humiliated. I exalted myself in my own self-righteousness and it burned as of hatred within me. By the light of that conflagration I could see the ugly two-faced creature that lives and breathes my breath.
Adulterer
I say that to say this: When it comes to the very end of it all. I mean at the very last and then in the beginning I can say to him "It has been a pleasure doing death with you CHRIST" and mean it.
Never has such a weight been lifted from this pitiful one. Sweet relief to trust in that which can't be seen or heard.
Do you ever wonder about faith? It's no myth I assure you if you will be assured.
I am crucified in Christ. Never the less I live. Yet not I, but Christ lives in me. And the life in which I now I live, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved my and who gave Himself for me.
