As we approach Easter, the stores are filled with candy, baskets, and rabbits. I turn to the true meaning of Easter. The beauty of spring comes to bring the hope and promise of new life and new beginnings.
God Chose to offer His son in our place.
Jesus Chose to come and give His life to offer us eternal life with Him.
When we choose to follow God, we express gratitude for all that He does. We are thankful to Jesus and the Holy Spirit for their actions. Then you can walk in freedom.
He Chooses us as His beloved children.
He Chooses to help us, bless us and to love us through our good and bad times.
He Chooses not to turn His back on us. He is always ready to welcome us back if we turn from Him.
He Chooses to give us a “job” to do that is specifically fit for us.
He chooses to guide us each step of the way. We try to fulfill the special things He has for us to do.
He Chooses to place us in a family, as children, parents, siblings, co-workers, fellow worshipers, etc. to touch the lives of those around us.
He chooses to give us love, wisdom, and knowledge. We need these every hour to touch the lives of all we meet.
We can Chose to get our “worth” and needs from others who often fail to give what we want.
Or we can Chose the Heavenly Father who wants to love and take care of us.
My prayer for each of you this Easter is that you stop to “raise a Hallelujah” for being “chosen.” I hope you choose to turn to Him daily as you “start again.” Continue each day on the path He has set for you.
May you have a Blessed Easter and find a renewed life with Him.
