Greetings!

“…just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” --Romans 6:4

This week, we honor the walk Jesus made to the cross.  This time of year always makes me think of the sacrifice our Lord made.

God loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross—for us. He didn’t have to do that, but He loved us so much that He couldn’t bear being separated from us, and because He couldn’t look on our sin, He had to remove it by providing the perfect sacrifice. How awesome is our God? It is so amazing to me that the Creator who created it all…thought enough of us to do that. The word says, "The Lord called me before my birth. From within the womb he called me by my name...He said to me, `You are my servant'..." (Isaiah 49:1, 3 TLB). I thank God that He called me by name...that He called us by name. What He did gave us another chance to get it right. 

God called us into being because He has a plan for each one of us, and He has given us all unique gifts that only we can do. God has anointed us and called us into service. He is calling us to represent Him in the earth. In Psalm 139:13 it says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.” We were always on His mind…even before we were born. If He could do that for us…what is it that we can’t do for Him?

I challenge you today to live the best life you have ever lived…for the God who lives in you. Whatever God is calling you to…don’t stop until you do it. Know that if you stay open to God, He will accomplish great things in and through you.

Until next time…

Be blessed.
