He's Alive!

I am so thankful for Jesus! My heart just overflows with love towards him. I thank God for softening my heart to himself and feeling his presence so strongly in our lives this season. This Easter I have been so thankful that Christ is alive and working in each human being's heart whether we realize it or not.

With Shelli and I dealing with a lot of death in our lives lately, the fact that Christ overcame death has been such a powerful thing for me to reflect on. When I think about Christ conquering death my heart gets overwhelmed... in awe. As I try to take it in I cry and smile and sing all at the same time. I have enjoyed Matt Maher's song "Christ is Risen" this Easter season.

I have been known to roll down my window, raise my arm (sometimes both arms:) high to the Victorious One, and declare as loudly as I can "Oh death, where is your sting!" "Our God is NOT dead, He's Alive! He's Alive!

My spirit yearns to make space in my life for this wonderful God. Now I just need to do the disciplined actions required to spend time with Him.

I hope you had a great time celebrating the Sacrificial and Victorious One this Easter... that He richly touched your life in some way... and that you experience resurrection power and joy as you go through your day.
