Peter, James & John disappointed Jesus when they fell asleep instead of praying with Him in His hour of great soul agony. Although He showed that He understood their weariness after a long, emotionally draining day, His grief is clearly evident in His words, “Are you still sleeping and resting?”(Mk. 14:41). By our thoughtlessness and selfishness we often hurt family members and close friends. I know a man who hurt his wife deeply when he usually went out with his friends instead of staying home to comfort her in her problems. Let’s avoid wounding those we love. Always keep in mind Paul’s words, “Love suffers long and is kind; love...does not seek its own”(1Cor. 13:4-5).
