Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live." John 11:25
Blessed be this day, the Lord is risen! It was finished on the cross. Jesus took the sin of the world upon himself. And as He promised, He rose again! He paid the price for us so that we may live. Let go of your burdens, lay them at His feet. The enemy has no power over us. Let Jesus calm your spirit and give you peace. He wants you to live life abundantly. Look for the blessings and stop murmuring about what's not perfect. I am certainly not saying this is easy, believe me! Let's just promise to try a little more each day.
This verse speaks to my heart so literally. Although I miss my husband, Gary, so deeply sometimes my heart just aches....I cannot imagine bearing it alone. The Lord knows me so well. He knows exactly how much I can take. I find such peace....true, comforting peace in my heart....that only Jesus can bring, knowing that Gary is in heaven, with Him.
So, at Easter time, I celebrate my risen Lord, Jesus Christ and all that He has blessed me with. At the same time, I am reminded of my husband's life that is no longer here with us but at home with the Lord. But again He comforts me....

Missy amor, I know that missing those that we love is really hard,specially during the holidays, We lost my dad 1 year ago in March and my Ita (grandma) 3 years, her favorite holiday was Easter :) But know that where they are, they feel your love every time that they are thought of. That being said, I hope that you and your family have a beautiful Easter :) Besos, Rose
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord Mis!
ReplyDeleteWhat a Beautiful Post!
Yes Gary is in Heaven and the truth is, you
will see him again because of the Finished work
Jesus did on the cross and Gary knew the Lord as his Savior!
Love you Sister!
My dear Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your reminder of His promise. I live by that daily, knowing that my girls and I will see him again. I'm so grateful for Gary's love for the Lord. It's a feeling I can't describe but a comforting certainty I hold in my heart.
Love you, too, Sister!
