God's Gift

I would like to think that I take the time on a daily basis to reflect and express thanks to the Lord for His wonderful gift of eternal life to all of His children. Too often, though, I hurry through my day and neglect to consider His generosity and sacrifice.

Easter is a time when most of us pause and actually do consider the death and resurrection of Jesus for the salvation of us all, or at least I hope so. It is my prayer that children and adults alike are able to see beyond the spring blossoms and pictures of bunnies and colored eggs to the love that is the truest and most beautiful ornament to have ever decorated this earth.

My soul rejoices as I think upon the absolute faithfulness of God to have sent His son Jesus as a perfect sacrifice to atone for all the sins of mankind forever, creating a way for all of us undeserving sinners to be reconciled and able to live in His presence for all of eternity! Oh the love He has for each of us! My prayer this day is that each and every person who reads this takes a moment to think about how much he or she is loved by God. And if you don't know what God has done in preparation to welcome you into His presence, feel free to ask me to share with you that which I know about how blessed it is to be a child of God, made pure through the blood of Jesus Christ.
