An Easter Feeling Now

        My favorite season…ah, Spring.  Why?  I absolutely LOVE Easter, it is my favorite holiday/Holy Day, and it happens in the Spring.  New growth, gentle breezes, soft rains, nature awakening, butterflies and rebirth.  I do not believe the Lord’s Resurrection was intended to only be renewed or remembered on Easter Sunday.

        Every time you connect with our Heavenly Father, repenting of your shortcomings and asking for His forgiveness, you are pushing the restart button. Albeit a resurrection of the new being in you. A clean slate and a chance to spring forward onto His path of unconditional love and grace.  The joy of Christ’s Resurrection can fill you more than once a year, on an Easter Sunday.  Every Sunday is Easter Sunday.  You can turn inward for renewal, reconnection, redemption, rebirth. With praise and thanksgiving to our Lord, you will feel the Resurrection Spirit stir within.

        Romans 12:2 “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how His ways will really satisfy you.”

        As our Lord went through a transformation to His resurrection, you too can be transformed, renewed, and then resurrect your best self, as a child of the Most High God.
