Make us right. When I think of Easter I think of how blessed I am. Like Thanksgiving we pause to acknowledge a great gift bestowed upon the world. In my reading this morning I can across this verse. He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God. (Romans 4:25 NLT) So there is always a lot to every verse but I want to focus on to make us right with God. God created us to have a relationship with us. Thats what He desires. He knew giving us free will was the only way to have a relationship. He also knows due to our immaturity we would make bad choices. So being God and having the ability to see all of time from beginning to end He knew what it would take to make that happen before He ever got started. Because I state I have faith in His perfect plan I must be able to say I am right with God. Otherwise I call God a liar. How could I a mere man and sinner be right with God?!?!? Because my debt of sin was paid on the cross. Can you imagine being debt free? The freedom from not owing anyone a single thing. Youd sing and dance wouldnt you? Well we are debt free from God through accepting Christ and his sacrifice on the cross as the ultimate gift of freedom. We are free to create a new now today and each and every day. Free from the mistakes of yesterday and last year. Especially those maybe from our childhood. I hope this concept gets you a bit excited. What will today bring? What opportunities to share, listen, build into another human being? What challenges will arise to help you grow? I my friends am excited about this new day and being free to create, grow and spread joy to all I meet. I hope you are too. Today is a gift thats why they call it the present. Make the most of it. InJoy today my friend!! :-)
