The Joy

That's my Saviour

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” - Phil 2:5-8

The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords did this for me. wow. The person who created the Earth, the entire UNIVERSE and everything in it, did this for me. He did it for you. He did it for everyone.

Easter!

Joy comes in the Morning

Tomorrow is Good Friday. Let's all remember what it is truly about. Jesus dying on the cross, willingly, for each one of us. Taking on the sins of the whole world and even though He was sinless and didn't deserve to die, He chose that for us. God told Him to do it and He did it. For us sinners. For people He knew would fail Him, mock Him, spit on Him, pound nails into His hands and feet. He died for me, conquered death and AROSE on Easter!!!

I ran from God for years before I finally, by his grace, turned to Him. He loved me and pursued me, even though I rejected Him. I'm so thankful I know Him now, and so thankful for His sacrifice of unconditional love. So thankful for His love and guidance.

So, tomorrow, let's remember GOD and HIS SACRIFICE. Let's remember tomorrow and what its all about. Let's rejoice on Easter because of Jesus Arising from the grave. Are YOU ready for HIS return? He IS coming back.

Abundant Life

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10

Life abundant with Jesus does not promise that everything works out great or having lots of money. It is having hope in Christ that no matter what bad stuff happens on earth, if we have given our hearts to Christ, we have a home in Heaven awaiting us. God will wipe away all our tears and we can live forever with Him. Life abundant with Jesus is that through the hard stuff, Jesus is always with us, helping and guiding. Life abundant is looking to others' needs above your own, and you will be blessed. NOTHING better in life than Jesus.

Forgiveness

God is teaching me about forgiveness. I've got a lot to learn.

"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32

Christ forgives me for all my junk (thank you, Lord!!) , why is it so hard to forgive others? Satan wants us to dwell on it and harbor bad feelings which, in turn, will eat us alive. Christ can be seen to others through our forgiveness. Lord, its your girl, Hope, here, HELP! Are you struggling with forgiveness? Let's let go together and give it to God.
