All to Him I Owe...

Its Easter weekend. Between hanging out with my grandma, cousin, aunt, other cousin, uncle, everyone else that im semi-related to in Oxford, it has got me thinking about the whole point of Easter.

Good Friday is the day that Jesus died for the world on the cross. He did for the world. But specifically, he died for ME AND YOU. I screw up EVERY single day. and he KNEW i would. But He still gave up his everything for me, so that I could go to Heaven. I cannot imagine or even begin to fathom that kind of love. How humbling to think that a wretched sinner like me, was SO loved by the God of the universe who created EVERYTHING perfectly, would want to die for me??? When he KNEW I would continuously run away from Him. WOW. Im so unworthy and undeserving, not matter what I do. What an AMAZING act of love!!

Praise the Lord, that we are redeemed not because of BUT despite everything we do! It really makes you think...Why in the world do I ever feel lonely or sad? I have eternal life and a Savior that wants a personal intimate relationship with me and loved me enough to DIE for me!!

It breaks my heart that the world cares more about if we are using a reusable grocery bag, or what kind of chocolate the Easter bunny is bringing. Earth Day gets an unbelievable amount of media coverage. What if the news stations talked about Jesus instead of what kind of eco-friendly water bottle we can buy??

Romans 6:8-11 "Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus."

"I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand my soul Lord to you surrender
All I am is yours"

HAPPY EASTER- REMEMBER THE CROSS!!
