Happy Easter!

He defeated death so that we could live forgiven, loved, and guided by his endless grace

I used to think this Holy Week was a sad story....a man, brutally tortured, betrayed by his people....and I could never conceptualize Him beating death the way He did. Truthfully, it wasn't until today that I realized it was not just his spirit, but his BODY, in the flesh he appeared again...He really CONQUERED death for US as it was written and prophesied

As I have grown in my walk with Christ, as an adult, and have been saved...I see that this is what it is all about

Easter means so much more to me now than everIt is this week and this day that gives us rest and hope and true salvation

We don't have to worry because God sent his only son to save us and Jesus fulfilled that promiseI could never put into words the goodness of God...it is something felt deeply in my heart

As I continue to grow in my faith and understanding, I realize that this day signifies letting go of worry and hastiness or criticism and judgment and finding the strength to drop pride at the door and just say THANK YOU GOD for saving me even when I didn't deserve it, ask for it, or feel worthy

Who am I to tell YOU, the creator of all things, what you have done is not something worth accepting into my heart?

This sacrifice is often hard to look at, accept, and realize because it is not of this world as we know it...but Jesus loves YOU and wants you to accept this truth that He died for usIt is a time for rejoicing, rest, and acceptanceI feel so grateful for each day and the blessing of being renewed by His loveI hope you all had a beautiful day ❤️
