A glorious Easter

When you reflect on Easter, do you think, "I am so unworthy of, yet so grateful for the gift of His grace?"

The more Easters I celebrate, the more grateful I become for the gift of new life through Jesus. His sacrifice is astounding. It leaves me speechless to think about all that He took on to wash us clean in God's eyes.

The more I learn about the holiness of God, the more I am amazed at how He pursues us. How He desires us to know Him so intimately yet, like Adam and Eve – because of our sin, we so often run and hide from His face. I am humbled by a Savior, Who, despite my sin and my running and hiding, loves me anyway.

Like the eggs we dye, we are covered by the blood of Jesus.

And while we may hide, He still seeks us – searches for us longingly. We may think we are better hiders than He is Seeker, but it just isn't true.

And when we think we are so lost that we can't be found, He tenderly...

...and lovingly gathers us up in His arms...

...and carries us back to Him.

We are His treasures.

And He is our great reward.

He celebrates our return to Him with great jubilation.

What wonderful news – He has risen!




We had a glorious Easter spent with family and friends – counting our blessings for His great love and all that He has given to us.
