Today much of the world celebrates Jesus showing death that it does not have the power it thinks it does over us.
Is there death in some area of your life? Mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally with others? Jesus wants to, he has the power to come into that very area of your life that’s causing all the pain and heartache and overpower it…heal it!
We don’t have to climb 150 stairsteps, give away all our money, move or change our wardrobe. All he wants is for us to come back to him.
These can be hard words to read, we have been conditioned to see God as a hateful, wrathful, angry, mean judge doling out punishment for our wrongs. That is not the voice of God. Jesus didn’t come to condemn or destroy, He was sent to free and restore…to give life…now in our current lives on earth.
Other’s words have spoken to us confusion, mistrust and cynicism. God’s words are helpfulness, peace, wisdom, truth, belonging, and care…true love.
Today, think about how you would like to be loved, how you would like to care for others and know that is God’s heart to you.
Today, give him the benefit of the doubt. Test him and see what good he will bring into your life.
It can be all new for you today.
God is good!
