Faith and Jesus’ Resurrection
This week is a special week. It is Easter and it’s the time to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. He has conquered death and took away our sins, so we can all have the promises of heaven. This is the time to believe in Jesus. For me, this is the time to reinforce my faith by doing these:
- Follow His example
- Accept His grace
- Invest my life for Him
- Trust His wisdom and strength
- Hold on to His promises
When I follow Jesus, I’m given the clarity for my future and He’ll provide the stability when storms happen in my life. I must also cry out to God whenever I need help, and without fail, He’ll provide His grace because it’s what I need. I don’t deserve God’s grace but He gives it no matter what. With His grace I must then give my life to serve God and others. It’s an investment with high returns. Believing in God means trusting Him with everything. Not just try to believe… I must wholeheartedly trust Him. When I trust Him, I’ll have no worries. I love that God has given me a promise of eternal life, and it gives me hope and purpose to live in this broken world.
Dear Jesus, I want to have a real faith in you, not a fake faith. Thank you for dying for my sins and showing me the way to live. Today I want to become a true believer in you. I want to follow your example. I want to accept your gift of grace. I need your forgiveness and mercy. You made me for a purpose and I want to invest my life in serving you. I want to trust your wisdom and strength. And I want to hold on to your promises when times are tough. Amen.
