Easter in Our Lives

Easter in Our Lives 

Today is a day that celebrates the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. On this day, we do not live in sadness of Jesus's death, but rather in appreciation for His sacrifices to allow us to live- to sin and still be forgiven.

On this special day, we are able to think about how we live our lives and how we choose to respond to external and internal stimuli. Jesus forgave the men for killing Him on the cross. Just as He chose to forgive, we must forgive those around us, even when we do not believe it is necessary. We are taught to forgive, not attack. Jesus challenges us every day to take the higher road and commit to living a life of love, giving, and appreciation for everything the world has to offer.

On the calendar, Easter is just another Sunday. But in our lives, Easter is a day to remind us all that we are Christians — followers of Christ — and of God’s children. We were brought into this world for a reason and we must uphold to the standards that God has placed upon us. Times may be rough, times may be easy-going, but we must always remember to live through God, through morals, and through grace. In addition, Easter serves to reiterate the idea that we are all human. We are not perfect. We will make mistakes. But as Christians, we must not forget who we are serving. We must not forget about who is watching. Jesus is always with us, so we must not fear making mistakes. We will learn. We will grow. We will become one who is closer to God.

When we devote ourselves to God, we begin to notice changes within our daily lives. Believing in God and giving our life to Him is a sign of Faith, Trust, and Belief in His end plan. For some people, God is not in their lives. It may be their choice, but God's Grace should be shown to the world. We are taught to give. Giving does not have to be through monetary values. The giving which God wants us to give is speaking the word of Our Lord and teaching others about His plan for us. The word of God should flow to others and be passed to others like the peaceful flow of a river. We are each born leaders of life, followers of God, and speakers of a magnificent plan. 

If we live our lives wondering, we'll stay in a never-ending thought of misbelief. But if we choose to listen to our Lord and speak the word of God, we'll bring more people closer together. God has sacrificed everything for us all and He gave up Himself to allow us to live, to sin, and to be forgiven forever. We cannot thank Him enough.

I wake up every morning giving thanks to God for another day to breathe, another day to chase my dreams, and another day to make an impact in this world. Whatever may happen to me on any given day, I always know that I have God to support me and nobody can take that away from me. When I put my head down at night, I thank God for another day to see and another day to learn. And before I close my eyes, I pray for those around me, those far away in need, and for a world change for the better.

 

God is miraculous.

God is here to stay.

I am a son of God.

I am here to speak the word.
