It's a New Day! It's a New Beginning! It’s a New Life!
The tomb is empty! Jesus has risen from the dead. Nothing will ever be the same again. This is Good news for the world and Good news for those of us who desire change in our lives. ALL things are made new today! Nothing is as it was. Life starts now.
It's never too late for life to begin again. Each day is new and today is one of them. We are reminded today of the immense, unstoppable Love that Almighty God has for us. Not even the grave could stop it!
Today, we let go of the old, we let go of what was, we let go of everything we were before, and embrace the New. Today we roll back the stone blocking our hearts. We roll back the stone that prevents us from living fully the life Christ died to give.
Through the death and resurrection of Christ we are made brand new. Today we call upon the Spirit of God to remove all that blocks us, prevents us, and keeps us stuck in our old way of living and thinking. Today, we stop looking for the living among the dead. We put to rest and forget about our past, our mistakes, our sins, our selfishness, and our wounds. We let Christ leave the grave behind and walk right into our hearts, fully alive, living through His Spirit in us today.
Christ now calls you to a new life. Nothing can separate you from His Love. Nothing can keep Him from you, except you. So give Him permission to enter. There is a joy to be had in your life right now where you are, no matter what your circumstances may be.
Easter shows us that God's Love cannot be contained. It bursts forth into the world and we need to let it burst forth in our lives and fill us. Jesus died to bring us His joy and we need to make sure His death and resurrection were not in vain. Let’s open our hearts to His healing love and allow it to change us and bring us the courage to bring this same Love of His to others.
So let's be near to Jesus today. Let's be near to the Blessed Mother whose joy is complete today now that her beloved Son has risen. Let's live the Easter life, a life dominated by the present moment and a future so blindingly bright that we can only trust God's vision of it.
Today, close the doors that need to be closed in your life, and open the ones that need to be opened, and walk out of the tomb WITH Jesus.
Let's live our lives in a New Way Today!
May the Risen Christ bless this Easter and always! Happy Easter!!
