Tis the Season

The snow has melted and the flowers are beginning to push their way through the earth's surface. Christmas has since passed, Spring has sprung and Holy Week and Easter are upon us. This time should be one of reflection and realization of how fortunate we are.

Casting Crowns was playing this morning on The Word FM and the lyrics "But if we are the body Why aren't His arms reaching? Why aren't His hands healing? Why aren't His words teaching? And if we are the body Why aren't His feet going? Why is His love not showing them there is a way? There is a way;" "Jesus paid far to high a price for us to pick and choose who should come."

God gave us His only Son to pay for our sins. He created us knowing how we would let Him down throughout our life here on earth. Could you imagine? That thought alone is hard to fathom.

We were very fortunate to be invited to a church last weekend where we heard such a beautiful message to kick off Holy Week. The Pastor spoke to us about responsibility and accountability. He spoke about how God will take all experiences and use it to aid another. With this mindset, you can transform your thinking to one riddled with negativity to one filled with hope. God does not want us walking around sulking for the rest of our lives for what we have done wrong. He wants us to learn from them and help others struggling, just as we did and may still do.

God had blessed my life in so many ways. As of late, I praise Him for the group of women who meet at my house on a Saturday morning to discuss the Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyers. Most recently, we spoke of God's love for us and how, like a leach, a mind filled with ungodly thoughts can get in the way of how deep His love truly is for us, by draining us dry. Yet, on the other hand, if we fill our minds with His love and thoughts, we will be able to really honor Him and embrace His love. We will than live out His will, taking our sins and turning them into His good will. We will than honor God, our Father!
