New

I woke up this morning to our clock radio blaring southern gospel music. We like to have the first thing we hear each morning be praise to God. The song this morning was one I had never heard before but one that I needed to hear. I only heard the ending of the song, but God knew that it was all I needed to hear in order to get the message. It was a group called "Legacy Five" and they were singing "Temporary Too". I couldn't tell you any of the words because I don't remember them other than the words "It's temporary too!"

Today, being Easter, I feel a different connection the Jesus' resurrection than I've had before. When Jesus was raised from the dead, He made all things new; death had lost it's victory and life won!

Considering how I've been feeling lately, (as you can read a small part about my situation in the previous post) today I woke up feeling like a new person. I feel as though I've had some things in my life be crucified and now, this morning, it's time to live again!

I want to thank all of you who have prayed for me like I asked you to in my previous post. I knew God was moving in my life and I just needed the strength to get through the pain of it. When God changes things in your life, it involves Him molding your heart into a different shape. This hurts. Although, when He is finished, you're so glad He had you go through it. It's kinda' like getting a shot when you're sick. It hurts for a while, but we all know it's going to make us better and we'll be glad it happened later. Just take your medicine and get well.

There is medicine for our physical bodies and then there is medicine for our souls. When your body is sick, you need a shot or a pill to make you new. When your soul is sick, you need to be washed in blood to make you new. Not just any blood. The blood of Jesus Christ. This kind of washing is unseen to the human eye, but all of Heaven and Hell see it very clearly.


Jesus is not dead. He's alive!
