One of our kids, grown up now, always asked during family devotions, "Can we just not go deep?" This is still our "laughter" quote in our family after many, many years! When the conversation goes deep......everybody laughs! These thoughts about Easter are deep! Thoughts that keep me grounded and grateful and looking UP!
The beautiful words from Scripture say, "Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly, does not seek it's own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered" I Corinthians 13:4-5 These words are unselfish, GRACE filled words and beautifully woven into the message of Easter! Nothing you or I could ever do could keep us from The Heavenly Father's grace and mercy. When we approach His throne of grace and seek Him in thought and prayer, and TURN to Him, He comes and meets us. He counsels, He loves, He forgives, He redeems, He restores, He renews! Our lives can be filled with joy, blessing, and purposeful worth!!! It is not pleasant to think and reflect on the fact that He was mocked (and still is) and forced to wear a Crown of Thorns. This Mighty One who had come to share and freely give this redeeming love! There is no greater LOVE than the Agape LOVE of Jesus, Great is Thy Faithfulness! Easter is about His love for the world. He gave His life on The Cross so that we might live, truly live and eternally with Him in Heaven! These thoughts are deep.......JOY DIVINE! I hope your Easter will be filled with a beautiful remembrance of what He did for all the world! Our lives can be inspired by a beautiful LOVE like HIS! He is RISEN!!! He is RISEN! May we too be filled with the joy of the first followers and be excited as we go and tell and spread His love throughout the world!
