He told them again and again.
shouting it
...in the breathtaking splendor of creation.
whispering it
...on the pages of ancient parchments.
echoing it
...through the voices of His chosen prophets.
but few listened.
even fewer believed.
finally
with a heart weeping at the deafness of His people
He took His pen - Jesus Christ,
and dipping it in Calvary's scarlet ink,
He wrote His message on a rough wooden banner
and pinned it against an empty sky for all the world to read.
bold, crimson words:
I LOVE YOU

yeah, this Easter was an amazing one. i got to be a part of the service at my church this morning among other things, but it's more than that. this Easter has actually kind of meant something to me. more than it ever has before.
i guess that i have realized that in order to have life, there needs to be death, as blatantly obvious as that sounds. life in Jesus means an intentional death of my sinful self. even with something as simple as moving to a new house in a couple of weeks, there needs to be death and mourning of this place that i have grown to love, accept, and become comfortable in, in order to receive what's next, something that i have faith to be an even bigger blessing. but i need to let go of what i have right now in order to get what He has for me later...
hmm...interesting. and all apart of what seems to be one of the main themes running through my brain these days...
