Praise the Lord!

Ah yes, Easter season is now here and the time has come for much rejoicing! Jesus Christ has been risen from the dead, all doubt and fear have been erased, and all our sin and death has been taken away by his death and resurrection! The promise of eternal life through out wonderful Father and Lord!

Not yet in my adult life have I enjoyed fully the promises and the joy of Easter - and its time to start rejoicing! Jesus is constantly trying to give us blessings, hope and promises that if we truly follow him, we will have life beyond the grave and live with Him forever in His kingdom! For whatever reason, the past few months I've been living in darkness and negativity. Its time for me to step into the light of God's promise for me! My new goal is to praise the Lord more every day and to build up my faith and trust in our Heavenly Father! Christ the Lord has risen - Alleluia!!!

In the first reading today (Acts, chapter 2) we read of hope that comes from trust in the Lord, "I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope, because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence." How wonderful, to be filled in joy in the presence of Christ. This is what I seek - praise the Lord!
