Easter is probably one of my favorite holidays. It brings in the Spring, and it really feels like God is everywhere. I have been thinking earlier this week that I needed to take the time to realize the meaning of the season, and what it really means to me personally. So often I view God as being a judgemental God whom I am scared to really embrace. I feel that He is constantly shaking His head at the things that I am not doing, rather than what I am doing. It's hard to see God as someone that is so loving He smiles everytime I smile, He loves when I love, and He embraces every feeling and emotion I have because He Loves me.
Easter signifies Jesus raising from the dead after three days of being dead. What does this mean to me?? It signifies His promises. It signifies His power. It signifies His truth. He promises His grace everyday to me, and my prayer this Holy Week leading to Easter is that I really embrace that. I want to KNOW that He finds joy in me, that He sees me as an instrument, and He loves me more than I could love myself. What does Easter mean to you???
Much love,
Nicole

Easter means that life comes from death. Jesus is alive and the significance and power of that is only because He first died. He calls us to die, so that we might find true joy and peace, that we might know what it means to really live. Thanks for sharing Nicole - I love that you are a thinker. :)
