The Glorious Pursuit Of Being Better Than I Was Yesterday
March 28, 2016
Easter
is finally here and I cannot believe just how blessed I have been to date.
First let me say thanks to God for blessing me with yet
another year and an opportunity to reflect on my personal journey
with Christ. So what Does Easter Mean To Me?
Growing
up, Easter was a time when the whole family got together, went to church; had a
feast; marshmallows and Easter eggs and that was it. Until one day my mother
said to me, my girl you are of age now. I think it is time you find and
understand the meaning behind certain things and events happening in your life.
You need to make an adult decision for yourself and choose your path on this
earth. As a child we offered you to Christ but it has to be your will and
choice if this is the path for you. From then onward I went on a journey of
knowing myself and what I need and want in life. And every time someone shared
the word of God I went and read it for myself too. You do know that as humans
we have a limited understanding and what you interpret or understand to be the
meaning of the verse you just read can mean something totally different to me.
Ever
wondered why the same Bible which has been read a million times can resonate
with you in every situation you may be going through? It is because we are
uniquely made to comprehend life and the word to meet the purpose it is
intended to be at that particular point in your life. Link to a related Easter Post
In a nutshell what is Easter to me!
Jesus' crucification and death: Letting go of the
things that were weighing me down or making me not be a desirable person to
myself (most importantly) and to those around me
Resurrection of Christ: Awakening
in me the things that would make me a better person; renewing my faith and
acknowledging that everything that happens on this earth be it good or bad;
work together for the goodness of life. And that I must understand that sometimes
sacrifices are necessarily for progress to prevail.
