Easter means to me a new beginning. With this new beginning comes spiritual life, building a relationship with the Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and letting go of the past.

Creation and redemption are the spheres in which these glories are displayed. In creation we see the eternal power and deity that belong to God alone (Rom. 120) while a deeper and richer glory is unfolded in the wondrous cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. There God is fully revealed, not only in terms of His dominion and deity, but in His holiness, love, and grace. At the Cross I learn what creation could never tell me--who God is and what He is to me, a guilty sinner. God is love therefore, He is both light and life. A Savior-God What marvelous grace and glory.

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

Amen

Your presence in my heart was incredibly great but on the other hand, so was hate there's always going to be those times you hurt and there's always going to be those times you don't but the one time that should never be, is when you don't tell me if your sick of me, so please, don't lead me on for god's sake I'm just one man, and I'm sorry for any irreversible Behavior, and I'm sorry for the mistake of making you my savior So if you listen closely to the words in your ears, every single syllable There's a story of one thousand years. And in every thousand years Things like this come not twice. And for every time it does There's still 5 million fights, and for all these digits, yet more comes to mind For every single number there's a million still to find.
