In the life of a Christian this weekend is the most incredible time of the year. Although it is something that would help if thought of daily, the cross symbolizes this holiday. It is Easter time! It comes once a year and no matter what is going on in our lives it will be celebrated. It is a time to say thank you to our God and recognize that we have been forgiven.
"So i'll stand, With arms high and heart abandoned, in awe of the One who gave it all."
Worship.
But I have done so many things wrong. The past few days have been crappy. I fell into temptation this morning. I got into a fight with my parents. I am broken. I think I am ugly. I hate myself. God, are you listening?
Breathe.
Satan, go away! "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;...."
These distractions are all lies. It is so easy to say that is hard to worship and thank God for all the things He has done when are heads are full of junk, dirt. It is a lie. These things cannot keep us from true worship.
"neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Lay this lie down with me, that things can keep us from our God. It is not true. It is death working hard around us. Death is not Life.
"...I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - Jesus
Father, let us give thanks to you always. Let us not fall into belief that things can separate us from You. Guard our hearts from the evil one in Jesus name. Let Your cross bring Life to us this weekend and always. Thank You for being pierced. Thank You for praying for us so many years ago. Thank You. God, thank You.
