Thank you precious Jesus for coming to Earth to live and die on the cross to save me. You have given me life like I have never known. All praise and honor and glory be to your holy name! I am overwhelmed by your unfailing love. I love you my savior, my king, my friend!
We had a great weekend! Casey & I went to Jacksonville to visit my family and to paint a house for a friend of my mom. Even though we were painting most of the weekend, I really love every second I get to spend with my wonderful hubby. We had a delicious Easter dinner last night and today made by my grandmother. We spent the weekend at her house, which is always very relaxing. She even did all my laundry for me...I was spoiled by her as usual and loved it! She is an amazing godly woman and has taught me so much. Mom and I dyed Easter eggs together, which is a tradition we love to do together. My mom came back with me today for church tonight, and I was so excited that she got to come with me. This was the first time she'd been to Highlands since we moved into the new building. Church was awesome as usual. John and the worship team did an incredible job, and Pastor Chris brought the truth of the word of God...wow! What a beautiful message of how God sees the world. He sees us all as His children, not as "sinners" and "righteous." We are all sinners and only are saved by the grace of God, through his son Jesus Christ! It was a great reminder of Jesus's purpose and what is now our purpose on Earth...to seek and save the lost! "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." -Luke 19:10
I know I needed that reminder. If that's what Jesus made His life about, then I certainly want to make mine about that too. I'm thankful that He came so that I might be saved and to know him intimately. How easy it is to get caught up in my blessed life, with my family and friends, and forget what my purpose truly is! Thank you Lord that you have given me salvation and a purpose in this life!
"Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea!" - Micah 7:18-19
