So today while we were at church, I just felt compelled to write down what I was thinking and feeling at the moment and I wrote it in my journal. I want to share it with you!! Happy Easter!!
"Today is Easter!! I cannot think of a more exciting day. If we cannot get super pumped about today, then what are we doing?!? We have been saved from eternal death when we deserved nothing of the sort. Shame and utter despair for the rest of forever is where we would be without Christ our Savior. The people before Christ had to keep the Law or else they would have to offer sacrifices. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Today is the day of Resurrection. I for one am super excited about this. This semester especially but also this whole year I have been focusing on joy. This might be the single most joyful day of the year. It isn't my birthday because I am not that important. It is not Christmas, though it puts up a really significant bid. It is today - Easter. Because if it weren't for the Resurrection of Christ, we would still be living under the Judgement of the Law. We need this day more than any other. We are such great sinners. I know that if it were just up to me, I could not even have the strength to make it through the day. It is the joy of the Lord that gives me the strength and the hope to carry on.
" 'Because He Lives, I can face tomorrow.' "
Thank you so much for this post :) It is so encouraging!
