It's Sunday!

“And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him.” Matthew‬ ‭28:9‬ ‭

Early Sunday morning as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to visit the tomb where Jesus was. Suddenly there was an earthquake, an angel of the Lord came down from Heaven and rolled the stone away. His face shined like lightening, and His clothes were white as snow. The guards that had been placed shook with fear. The angel spoke and told them, don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus but He isn't here. He has risen, just as He had said He would! Come and see where He was! The angel instructed them to go see the disciples and to tell them that Jesus had risen. The women ran, they were scared but also full of joy! As they went to tell the disciples Jesus met them, they ran to Him and grasped His feet and worshiped Him! Then Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee and they will see me there!" The guards went into the city and told the leading priest what had happened, a meeting was called and they gave the soldiers a large bribe to say the disciples had stolen Jesus' body. The said the government would hear what had happened but the priest would stand up for the guards. The guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told, their story spread around to the Jews. The eleven disciples headed to Galilee to meet Jesus. They were going up to the mountain where Jesus had told them and they saw Him. They worshiped Him, but some doubted! Jesus came and told them that He had been given all authority in heaven and earth. He told the disciples to go and make disciples of all the nations and to baptize people in His name. Jesus told them He was with them always. Today, we celebrated Resurrection Sunday. We all have to remember the real meaning of it has nothing to do with a bunny, eggs or candy but something much deeper. Jesus has risen and taken all sin, doubt, fear and shame away from us. He was the perfect lamb, He has freed us. We should use that freedom for the good, and build the Kingdom of God! Let God use you in ways to uplift the spirits of others and bring others to Christ. Today is the reminder we are not slaves to any world thing, instead we are free in Jesus! Tell the whole world what Jesus has done for us! Here are some verses to reflect on today! “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 ‭ “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 ‭ “So the guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told to say. Their story spread widely among the Jews, and they still tell it today.” Matthew‬ ‭28:15‬ ‭ “Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.” Matthew‬ ‭28:18‬ ‭

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...
