Constrain Him

Check out more writings on IBLieve where I blog excerpts from my mother's Biblical journals. I love them all but I especially love this one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Genesis 18:3, 19:2,3; Luke 24:28,29)

"Do not pass me by," Abraham entreated the three 'angels.'
"Please turn in to your servant's house," he insisted strongly.
Later, Lot entreated the same three 'angel's to stay with him for the night. What both men would have missed had they not done so!

There are other such instances in the Bible-Jesus and the men on the Emmaus road for one: "He indicated that He would have gone further. But they constrained Him, saying, "Abide with us..."

Why does 'Deity' do this?
Can we also not miss blessings because we let 'angels' go un-entertained?
How do we let Jesus 'go further' and not receive a special revelation of Him?
But He said, "I am with you always"
so maybe it's no longer possible to "constrain Him."

This needs more thinking.

But as it's possible to have someone with us but not have intimate interactions with them, just so it is possible for us to let the close presence of Jesus to just 'pass us by' as we rush through life.
