Easter Wishes!

Yes, it has been quite a while since my last post. Because of some personal trials that I've dealt with over the past while (health and emotional), I felt impressed to share a revised post from last year. Or was it two year . . . Sorry, memory loss is sometimes my companion now:-)

I have re-learned many things over the past year - things that the Lord has impressed upon my spirit, ensuring that I will NEVER forget the lessons.

1. If the Lord commands me to do something, I can accomplish it, no matter how hard or impossible it may seem. And believe me, the changes that have come into my life as a result of those commands have been both challenging and wondrous!

2. To never lean on the arm of flesh. His is the only sure arm, one that will never weaken or let me fall. His arms embrace and lead the way, and I will always follow.

3. To never fear man more than God. 

4. That when it comes to the gospel of Christ, I am SUPPOSED to go deeper, because as I do,

He will in turn deepen my understanding. Sometimes retaining things is a struggle, but he helps me retain what is important - namely things that lead me to Him.

5. I can do without so many things that I once put importance on, but I can NEVER do without my Savior. Emphasis on NEVER.

6. That there will always be voices of deceit, but as long as I stay close to Him, He will help me discern what is real and what isn't. And He strengthens that discernment constantly, because I always ask Him to.

7. That His warrior angels are present, watching over me 24/7 because I am constantly praying for assistance. The Lord knows I need His strength and He provides it, especially during those moments when my soul is so weighed down by adversity.

8. That no matter what, His plan for me is still in force, pointing me in directions I would never have thought to go.

9. That no matter what is going on in the world around me, He is God, and when I allow Him to, He will lead me exactly where He wants me. And I boldly and joyfully go, regardless of what anyone thinks.

10. And finally, to always be grateful. The importance of our gratitude to God is beyond description. Ingratitude and pride are two weakness we must shun with everything in us. Spiritual warfare is relentless, but keeping our focus on gratitude to the Lord in times of adversity will help us win the battle we fight. For me, it's a daily battle, and sometimes I'm so weary, I cry day and night to my Savior for His comfort. And He always gives it when I need it most.

The Lord overcame the world, and because of Him, so can we. He did it all for us. That is
definitely an act worth our never-ending gratitude.

Wishing you all a blessed Easter!
