Easter Eve

The truth is I need to be doing the dishes, but first this... I have really been struggling lately, for who knows why...but I think that that ol' prince of darkness knows when I am at my weakest and goes for it (whatever that means...something along the lines of beating a dead horse), trying to drag me down. Well, tomorrow is Easter, and the whole hope of all of my everything lies in the fact that Jesus Christ lived a perfect life on my behalf, died as an innocent and perfect sacrifice on my behalf, and rose again from the grave so that I, too, can live forever with Him in glory.  And I know all the right stuff about my sin, his righteousness, the forgiveness I have, and the Holy Spirit dwelling in me. And so, right now, I'm claiming all those things, again.  Because sometimes I have to do it once every thirty seconds, but darnit (really, that's not strong enough, but that's all I'll say on the internet), if that's what it takes, then that's what I'll do. Conquering death is no small thing.  Taking on the sins of the world, not so little either.  If God is big enough to do those things, then can I admit proclaim that He is big enough to change my heart?  Even if it is a little at a time?  Even if it's really hard and I don't want to sometimes?  Even if it feels impossible? Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. There are so many other verses that are speaking to me right now, but those two are really standing out.  I hope all of you have a wonderful Easter Sunday.  In spite of difficulties, or pain, or sorrow, or hard times, or internal struggles, I pray that our eyes will be open to the true, deep, wonderful love of our Lord and Saviour, who with open arms calls us to Him.  Lord, increase our faith.

Sorry for the struggling. At least your head is in the right place. Your heart will follow in time.

Happy Easter.
