Today is Easter. Or as some Christians say, resurection day. But what is Easter, really? I mean, for most people it is the day to eat candy, go to sunrise service, do easter egg hunts, and take some extra days off school and work. But seriously, why was this holiday origonaly created? So we can spend a day bitting the heads off chocolate bunnies? NO!! It is to remind us what Jesus did for us. I mean, the horrible sacrifice he did. For ME!!! He loves me that much. The least I can do is remember that. And thank him. On today, at least. But also on every day.
"All for Jesus, I surrender. All to Him I freely give." Ever thought of the implications of this? I mean, Jesus loves us unconditionaly (that thought is the most mind-blowing EVER), the LEAST I can do is give my life to him. ALL of my life. Without compliant, without "Whying" Jesus. Just doing it. That is the hardest thing that I have ever done/am doing. It is hard not to question Jesus. Sometimes, all we want to do is our own way. But if we do what Jesus wants us to do, instead, we make our faith stronger. We make Jesus happy. And to please Jesus, that is what I am here for, isn't it? That is what life is about! Pleasing Jesus in the small things, makes doing it soooooo much easier in the large things. And it is worth it. Even if it seems like nothing could be worse, Jesus will help you through it! Jesus died for us, so that he could be here, with us, in every aspect of our lives. And we deny him this? why?!?! Jesus, my prayer is that you make me all for you. That every choice I make in life, will be for you. You have given me a free choice in everything I do. I pray that I chose it for you. Jesus, you are my all, my everything. And I love you, Jesus. May you always reign in my life!
So beautiful! Thanks so much Beth for sharing this.
