Embrace Your Judas and Become . . .
Everyone wants it . . . so how do we get it? No matter who we
are, we all have dreams, goals or ideals that we long for. Our
greatest obstacles are fear and ourselves. No one can prevent us
from achieving our plans once we discover who our Judas is.
Tradition dictates we avoid Judas. However, if we do not Embrace
our Judas we will never become what it is that we were created to
be.
Judas simply means a celebration or praise of God. So, to
embrace our Judas means we are giving God the opportunity to
receive praise by giving us the wisdom to plan the perfect defense.
In fact, it is a requirement that every living thing praise God . .
. let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
The traditional story of Jesus teaches us that we must embrace
the thing, the situation or the person that we know, in our hearts,
means us harm. A job, a significant other, a coworker, a habit or
an unsuccessful business plan can be Judas discovering your own
Judas can be a great challenge.
Judas was laid in the path of Jesus, by God, only to overcome.
It is ok to go into our Garden of Gethsemane (oil press or the
place where we clear our spirit and mind of fear), but we must
remember to exit that place to become what were meant to be. So
often we stay in Gethsemane waiting for someone to join us to no
avail.
Instead, we must acknowledge that we are in a place that we do
not desire and so, we are ready to go to another level to find and
embrace our Judas.
