Happy Easter!

Hello friends and Family!
First of all, I hope you all are having a great Easter! I have been thinking today a lot on what Easter really means. It's not all about getting candy, and having awesome church services and Easter egg hunts. I just wanted to remind all of us what it really is about. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in all the candy and stuff, that we forget what it is all about. It is about a prophecy being fulfilled! Ps 68:18 "When you ascended to the heights, you led a crowd of captives. You received gifts from the people, even from those who rebelled against you. Now the Lord God will live among us there".
That is not the only prophecy about Jesus' resurrection, there are many more! For me this is the greatest day in the year! Jesus is alive again!!
A friend pointed out something to me earlier, because I had made that same reflection on my facebook status. She commented on it and said: He's alive and reigning in glory in heaven, but is He alive and reigning in our hearts? This really struck me because it really makes me think how many people know that He is alive in heaven, but don't really have him alive in their hearts. Another friend made another reflection by saying how most of us have him reigning and alive in our hearts on Sunday mornings, but the rest of the week he gets the back seat... Whoa! that is really deep now! I know all of us are guilty of that! So next year on Easter, remember the true meaning of it all, and that He is alive and that we should be giving him our best, not just on Sundays, but all the time try to give him our best!
Well that's all for now!
'Till next time,
Jessie
