1 Corinthians 15:22

Easter whispers of renewal. Of the dawn of a new life, through Jesus Christ, bursting forth from the tomb. It’s a personal invitation to embark on a journey of spiritual rejuvenation. One that’s breathes new life into our weary souls. The Resurrection of our Lord offers us a fresh start. A chance to shed the weight of past failures and shortcomings, and step into the light of redemption. With hearts open, we surrender to the transformative work of God, trusting in His promise to bring forth beauty from ashes. As we bow in humility, we invite His Spirit to dwell within us, igniting a fire of passion for righteousness and truth. And through prayer and contemplation, we seek His guidance, allowing His love to mold us into vessels of His grace. Easter beckons us to lay down our burdens and embrace the freedom found in surrendering to God’s divine will. May this season of Resurrection awaken within us a fervent desire for spiritual growth, as we are renewed by the power of Christ’s victory over death.

December 17th – Romans 5:8

Romans 5:8

The word “wretch” can be traced back to the Old English word “wrecca”, meaning one who is despicable, or contemptible. An outcast or an exile. A perfect description for each of us when it comes to our standing before a holy and perfect God. But because of His grace and mercy, through the blood of Christ, our Father in heaven takes us once wretched, and makes us His beloved. What does this mean? This means that even though I am a sinner and fail daily, God wants me. All of me; the good, the bad, and the ugly. And not because of my great love for Him, but because of His great love for me. Richard Sibbes is quoted as saying, “there is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.” As I continue to have good and bad days, successes and failures, I will be forever grateful for God’s grace and mercy that no matter what will remain the same. And most of all, I will rejoice in God’s amazing grace that saved a wretch like me!
