He Is Risen Indeed.

“Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.” Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬ ‭

Sunday is here. Jesus rolled out of the tomb with marks on His hands and feet. He was free and alive, He had conquered sin and death. That same power that brought Jesus back to life and freed us all from sin lives in us every day when we have the Holy Spirit living in us. We are able to experience Jesus' freedom every day if only we will accept it. I know Easter Sunday is a happy day for everyone but this Easter was kind of emotional for me. I was reminded that Jesus didn't have to go through with dying on the cross, He chose to. He wanted to give us forgiveness, He wanted us to come to live in Heaven with Him. We are so undeserving of His love but His mercy still renews daily for us. When we feel as though we have failed Him that is where mercy steps in, the mercy that He gives us daily even after the pain that He went through on that cross. You are forgiven, you are loved, you are chosen, you are worthy, you are blessed, you are a child of the One true King, you are saved by grace, and you are enough! Never doubt what God can do in three days look at Friday and look at today, all hope seemed lost but He showed up! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it.” Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭2‬ ‭ “Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.” Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭5‬ ‭ “He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.” Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭6‬ ‭ “But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭20‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
