Let's learn from Mary Magdalene how to fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Notice how she sought Him. She went looking for the Savior early in the morning. If you're willing to wait patiently for some distant chance to be with Christ, you'll never truly have fellowship. A heart ready for communion with Him is one that hungers and thirsts.

Mary sought Him boldly. While other disciples fled from the tomb in fear and amazement, Mary stood firm. If you want Christ by your side, seek Him with courage. Don't let anything hold you back. Stand firm where others waver. She sought Christ faithfully, standing by the tomb when others wouldn't even stand by the living Savior.

Seek Christ by clinging to anything related to Him, even when others abandon Him. Mary sought Jesus earnestly, standing and weeping. Her tears drew the Savior to show Himself to her. If you crave His presence, weep for it. When your happiness hinges on Him whispering, "You're my beloved," you'll soon hear His voice.

Mary sought the Savior only. She cared nothing for angels and turned her focus back to her Lord alone. If Christ is your one and only love, with no rivals in your heart, His comforting presence won't be far off. Mary Magdalene loved much, and we should strive for that same intense love. Let our hearts be full of Christ so that our love, like Mary's, is satisfied with nothing but Him. Lord, reveal Yourself to us this evening.
