On this fine, Easter Day, I am reminded of the resurrection story and can not help, but to pause and think about how beautiful it is. Overcoming death.
There are so many places of "death" in all of our lives. How often do we race to pacify that "death" instead of facing it head on? Forgiving where forgiveness is needed, loving others when it seems impossible.
Christ's story is a unique one because he looked death in the face, accepting the fact that it would take suffering to lead to resurrection. It is important to note, that he literally sweat blood coming to a place of acceptance for the suffering, even though he knew it would lead to life for him and those around him. Not to mention, his friends and family abandoned him during this time. It was his decision to make and it was a hard one.
Overcoming anything is not an easy task. It takes dedication. His example shows us that we can be victorious.
Understanding the need for change, accepting that it will take time and effort, moving forward with the task at hand, and finally rising from the ashes because the old passes away and we become new.
In the face of unsurmountable odds, we are risen indeed!
Now, let's hunt for Easter eggs. :)
