Have you ever considered that today is the Universal Independence Day?
When Christ hung on the cross as intercession for each and every one of His own he stated, “It is finished”. He had paid the price and guaranteed our place in Heaven.
But, we still had a fear that death would consume us. Mankind saw him die on that cross and, just like today, most of us only believed what we “saw”. The question of “what if…” crept in. Then three days later his body was no longer confined to that tomb and he walked among us once again.
Today, Easter Sunday, we celebrate the assurance that death has no power. Those three days that He laid in the tomb were a time of transformation.
Because of His caring, His unconditional love, you and I are free today to choose our path. We have the ability to rejoice in a state of gratitude and know that we are blessed beyond measure.
We have the beauty of sun, moon, sky around us every day. Even when we can’t see it – we know it’s there.
We have the choice to, as Bobby McFerrin sang, don’t worry, be happy”.
Yes, there are situations that we have created in this world that are less than pleasant, created out of fear. However, we have the choice to change those things and slowly, we’re doing so.
So take a moment today and reflect on the wonderful freedom that you and I share. The freedom that allows us to be at peace within, regardless of the circumstances without.
Share a smile today, be grateful for the state of grace you find yourself in and give thanks to the one who made the miracle possible.
Happy Easter!
Love,
Kira
