I hope
you are taking advantage of remembering what this very special time of year
means in the life of Christians. For the entire week, I have been posting daily
on face book the events that took place during this Holy week. The story
about Jesus' crucifixion, burial and Resurrection never gets old. It is a
stark reminder of how much God loved us sending His son to endure what He
did to save you and I.
Our
Salvation is free to us but was costly to God and His son Jesus. As I think
about all that Jesus had to face, I am more determined to enjoy all the
privileges He afforded me. I just cannot take what He did for granted.
Most of
us are satisfied with just salvation, that is critical but there is more.
I see salvation as the access door to a world of endless blessings.
Here is
how I look at things: After what He has been through- I cannot allow the power
He has given me to just sit there and not activate it. I cannot allow fear to
keep me from speaking to situations in my life that are trying to create havoc.
I cannot hold on to what others have done to me and not forgive and pray
for them. I cannot allow sickness to get the better of me. I cannot allow
people to remind me of things I have done wrong and feel condemn. I must
believe His word when He says my children are a blessing and a heritage. I must
act as if He knows more about me than even I know about myself. I must never
forget the unchanging love He has for me and I MUST ALWAYS WALK AS ONE
VICTORIUS AND NOT AS ONE DEFEATED. What about you?
In
His Service,
Vilma
