Resurrection Of The Heart

How easy it is for us to make time to attend the latest sports event or movie, yet when it comes to taking time for God, there is so little left.  Maybe tomorrow, we think, as we put off that still quiet voice from within softly calling us. 

We race to the next activity with the flurry of daily life at our heels.  There’s never enough time in the day to do everything, but someday we won’t be so busy and we’ll have time for spiritual things, just not today, our minds placate our hearts.

At one time or another we all feel the walls of life caving in all around us, leaving us feeling empty without a care for exterior joys.  We need something deeper, but we’re afraid to ask. 

I was too busy for God, one’s heart will condemn, why would He help me now? I can’t ask for help, He’ll never hear me. 

A little contemplation, just a moment with God will tell us otherwise.  He’s still there and always was.  Waiting with a loving heart filled with the forgiveness that we don’t always have for others when they don’t keep in touch. 

His deep compassion is always there to give us peace in the midst of disaster or trouble.  When we grieve over the loss of a loved one, He is there to put His warm arms around us, consoling us with the mystery of a greater life beyond the one we know.  He fills the void, builds the character, and lays the foundation of Jesus Christ, the Son who He sacrificed for us. 

We have a God who has given us the greatest gift of all, Salvation through His Son Jesus Christ.  We have a Savior who willingly obeyed His calling and gave up His life for His friends. 

As we ponder that love this Easter or at any time in our lives, let us commit our lives daily to Christ in thankfulness for His love and obedience.  Let us also be obedient and reward ourselves with the joy of communing daily with God and His Son, Jesus Christ in thankfulness, praise, and honor. 

How blessed our lives will become as we do this.  There will be more time, more love, more peace and more joy.  Abundance will abound within our hearts and lives everlasting!
