Easter Blessings 2 U!

This is a special time of the year.  This is a time of celebration.  Many years ago the Israelites were treated harshly by the Egyptians.  They cried out to God for salvation.  God provided.  At that time they celebrated the Passover.  But true salvation was to come!

I think about what was done for us.  I think about how God wanted children so badly that He chose to have us, knowing that we would separate ourselves from Him because of sin.  He wanted us with Him so much that He planned a provision.  As a parent we know that if we saw our child about to be shot and killed that we would jump out in front of him to protect him.  How much more so did God do for His children.  He saw we were headed to Hell because of our choices. Our sin.  So the Loving Father took the bullet for us. 

At this time of year especially... with the newness of spring coming... we think back and remember a God who loved us enough to give His live for us.  The thing is... Jesus did die in my place, take my sin on His sinless body... suffer indignity and pain and shame because of me.  But as the famous you tube video says... "Sunday is a comin"!  Jesus did not stay on that cross!  He is our God, our Savior, and our LOVING FATHER! 

How much do you love your Daddy?  Do you talk to Him?  Do you know His heart?  Or do you just talk to Him when you need something?  Do you realize the great honor it is to be adopted into His family?  Do you realize the privilege it is to belong to Him and get to talk to Him anytime we want?  Do you learn from Him, meditate on His words to you? Feel His presence in your life?  Has your love grown stale?  I pray not. If so... let this be a fresh season for you to "spring forward" in your relationship with your Abba Father. Do as the Israelites... cry out to Him.  He is the God who hears.  He is the God of blessings to those who seek Him.

I will leave you with my last memory verse...
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him.
AMEN
