Many people invest in bad relationships like they invest in bad companies. Have you ever owned a company? Let’s say it’s a tech stock, and the company is worth 1/5th of what you paid for it. The stock did not have any earnings, but you bought it anyway because of its potential. When most people lose roughly 80% of their investment, they hang onto the stock saying “It is low, it has to go up.” But instead, it just becomes dead money that is not doing anything for the owner. Instead of taking that money and buying a company that could appreciate, many people keep their money in that dead company. This is what many people do when they get into relationships based on potential. After four or five years, they watch a person “depreciate.” Instead of investing themselves in a relationship that is healthy and heading somewhere, they say to themselves, “Well I have been in this relationship this long I may as well stay.”

Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee…
