Respite For the Weary
He is risen, my friend! On this Resurrection day hear the good news:
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through Him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! (Romans 5:8-10)
I am thankful for the demonstration of God's love to me as a sinner.
I am humbled that Jesus took God's justifiable wrath so that I could be saved from it.
I am awed that through Christ's death and resurrection, I, an enemy of God, am now reconciled to Him... today and forever.
May your life and mine be daily marked by both the weighty wonder of the cross and the eternal joy of the empty tomb.
Yes, He is risen indeed!
...for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13
Dear Lord,
Remind us that you love to both reside in us and to work through us. Help us to use our unique wirings to the best of our ability. May we delight in what we love to do while you delight in us. Spread your beauty through all your people--an array of different gifts displayed for the glory of your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
