For many, Easter has come and gone and now it's back to hum drum life. I don't know about you but I am excited about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Just as Jesus was transformed, we too, can be transformed. How? you ask. By the power of the Resurrection, that's how. If God can raise a dead man, can He not handle the issues of our lives? Can He not raise us up again as well?
Acts 2 talks about the things that the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit does for us - strengthens us, gives us confidence, enables us to overcome obstacles, grows our faith, heals us, performs miracles, and gives us NEW LIFE! Now that is something to be excited about, if you ask me.
What is it in your life that you are struggling with, dear one? Whether it is a health issue, a finances issue, a relationship issue or an emotional issue, Jesus is able to transform you and make you whole. As Jesus said to the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:48, "Daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go and be in peace."
Today, I am putting my faith in Jesus Christ and the power of His Resurrection. I am choosing to trade my suffering for His peace. How about you?

He Raised Me Up
As I nailed my list of burdens to the cross at church on Good Friday, the impact of what Jesus did for me on the cross pierced my heart and tears of grief and sadness welled up in my eyes.
Yet, though the cross was a dark and hopeless place, joy comes in knowing that Jesus did not stay there. As the women approached the tomb, they saw the stone was rolled away and Jesus' body was gone. "He has risen" they were told by the angels. Indeed, what Jesus had told them had come true. The women's grief was replaced by unspeakable joy.
Once again I am reminded that the promises of God are true. Jesus is alive and He has conquered the grave as well as the darkness that often pervades our souls. His Resurrection power is available to each of us who believe in Him. This season Jesus healed me of an unexplainable sickness and brought me into a greater revelation of who He is.
Whatever dark and hopeless place you may be going through, remember that Jesus has a purpose for it and He will raise you up as well. Rejoice and be glad, for Christ is Risen!
