Live courageously from your heart!
Wanted to share a story with you. Walk with me…
Image that a loving God created you and placed you in His sandbox, a beautiful pristine beach with a shoreline that only has boundaries in your own mind. We are given the tools we need to live out life, and like most of us we quickly go right to work building our sandcastles.
What is Easter to you? What are you doing for Easter?
Could you imagine Jesus wandering onto the scene of an Easter egg hunt or seeing excitement around Easter baskets? Easter is not about coloring eggs, kids hunting for them, Easter baskets or even enjoying a big meal with friends and family. It can include these things, but Easter is about the death and resurrection of Jesus!
I was reading a book recently and came across this:
The missionary E. Stanley Jones once met with Gandhi he asked him, “Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower”
I asked the question on Google+, “What would you do in your current circumstances if you were absolutely confident God is with you?” and Brian Kelley responded with the following. Brian thanks for sharing and letting me feature your writing on the Heartstone blog!
“So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.” -Colossians 2 :16-17 NKJV
I have always believed in the promise of Christmas. There has always been something special to me about this time of the year, going back to my earliest days of childhood.
What is it that we love about Christmas, once we get past the initial trappings?
