On this very special Easter, the first Easter with my precious daughter in my arms (not kicking away in my belly only weeks before she would make her arrival) I am truly understanding Easter for the first time. I am truly understanding what God's huge love for us looks and feels like, how if we let it into our hearts and truly accept that he loves us and sent his son to die for our sins; by his mercy and grace we are saved it CHANGES you!! It changes something deep in you heart. It hits a sweet spot that you never even knew existed. It stirs and begs for more and in that moment you realize it is only for God that we live, only for HIM that we are saved and even able to experience the joy of being a mother, a wife, daughter, sister, and best friend.
I am more thankful on this Easter than ever before that Jesus died on that cross for our sins, I weep with tears of a mother as I think of Mary watching Jesus carry the cross and be crucified for US, I want more on this Easter than ever to live a life worthy of that sacrifice.
I share this song with you tonight, the night before Easter, the night before HE IS RISEN! It has spoken to me during this season of Lent and I hope it speaks to you tonight. Enjoy your sweet families tomorrow and celebrate for our God is not dead he's ALIVE!
