Words of encouragement

Music is an encouragement in my life God has gifted many of my friends with the ability to put words to music that inspire cause people to reflect on their relationship with Christ and encourage them to continue the race. Recently I have run across the group Sidewalk Prophets and the words to their song The Words I would Say have encouraged me and I would like to pass them on to encourage you today,
"Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,"

Remember these today as you go through your busy days.
These are the words I would say,

There is hope

HE is RISEN JESUS CHRIST is ALIVE. He Died a horrific death the cost of all my sins a price that I could not pay, and rose again conquering death so I would be free. Jesus Christ made a way for me to have eternal life with him in heaven. This is a time to celebrate.

Although there are many religions who worship many things Christianity is the only one I know of where you can have the assurance of life eternally. God is not just a figure. He is alive and rules over all and is standing with open arms to all that will except Him. He wants to have a personal relationship with you. You are able to talk directly with him you do not need someone to do it for you. He does not have office hours He is available 24/7. He knows when you are hurting and He wants to comfort you, when you are confused He will provide wisdom, when you are anxious He will give you peace. He cares and loves you no matter what you have done or where you come from. He is never to busy. God knows who you are He wants you to know who He is.

Take time to evaluate you life does your walk match your talk or is it just a check mark on your list of things to do.

Good Friday

What a humbling experience Christ horrifying death on the cross. His words "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." John 23:34 "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit" John 23:46. Those were his last words before he died. Even to the end Christ love for us was demonstrated by his plea for our forgiveness and his ultimate submission to the Fathers plan. If this was the end of the story our hope would have been for nothing. But this isn't the end only the beginning.

Why me

As we prepare our hearts for Good Friday and the somber realization that Jesus Christ endured the most horrific death every and He did not have to but choose to. This shows just how much He loves and cares for us. He knew this was the only way to bridge the gap for us from an eternity in hell to an eternity in Heaven with a God that loves and cares very much for us.

For just a moment imagine you have only one son and you knew he must die in order to provide a way to save all man kind and you could stop his death but if you did all of man kind would be sentence to an eternity in Hell. Could you do it?

How can we continue our journey through life without reflecting on why we deserve such a loving sacrifice answer is we do not. This is a demonstration of God's love for us.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 6:23

We didn't deserve it
