Easter

Easter ----------- over the oceans from whence we came amid war and random bloodshed struggles a people as noble in name as the men and women by which they're led they are the Jews, and how they suffered and why when their actions in antiquity brought salvation had Jesus not bowed to be hung, and to die our God would be merely a distant relation He taught them, fed them, and gave of His heart they argued yet listened, scoffed and still praised then Pilate, seeking an end, made a new start Christ was tornm from His life, and today He was raised Easter is very much more than a rabbit with eggs more than candy, sales, and succulent ham the Lord died in pain amid societies dregs crying,"Forgive them their sacrifice of this Holy Lamb!" "For they know not, they only follow, through what they have wrought My Grace they will know." =-------------------- in the Holy Land, there is hatred and fear in darkness they search for a light let them, and you also, know He is near God is watching, His love burning bright though i am only a man, born in sin and He is far away, it often seems i know that as of today, He lives again not a concept, or a product iof desperate dreams He is the Giver, the Creater, and the Defender He is the Strength, we find when we need He is the source, of all that's gentle and tender through every dark deay, He will quietly lead though a man be cursed through His will he may see by resisting the worst we may love, and feel, and be free not of sin not of care not to win but to share on the day of Christs rebirth through little effort or thought i may again proove my worth sharing the Love that i myself sought happy Easter, to everybody the same let's take a moment from the busy day to hear, and savor the sound, of His name to hope, think, and even to pray in my frail, and grateful place i stand still and give Him His due His is the Presence that leads to Grace so even this flawed vessel, can become anew! happy Easter!!!!!!!!! =============================================== an excerpt: ----------------- [ ...so seek His Son, who died to save unlike us, He didn't have to fill a grave and yet He came to us, to live and teach and then to die, and rise up from Satans' reach can you imagine Satans' fearful surprise when he was faced with the Power, of his Prize? Christ is Mercy, Love, Deliverance, and Understanding yet with all the Power of God commanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
