And The Day After

Today, The Next Day, And The Day After.
It's starting to sound a lot like Easter to me...And on the third day He rose again!

When we pray to have hearts of mercy, the Lord gives us strength to act in person with that same mercy. As we take action, the Lord fills us up with immeasurable joy! He surpasses our every thought about who we are and what He can do through us. He truly is a miracle worker. In His miracles, He allows us to love where we thought that we couldn’t love and hope where we thought all hope was lost….

Sometimes life feels like we've been so deep in the pit, in the mire, in the clay, that we've been so weighted down that we might never resurface to the joy of our salvation. But there is restoration from that pit. He always pulls us out with the help of our friends and their intercessory prayer. With the aid of our own devotion, commitment and efforts of praise.

How important it is to fellowship with other believers that remind us of who we are in Christ, lest at these times of extreme pit dipping, that we would fall away! Once returned by His amazing grace to the joy of our first glimpse of hope, (Do you remember what that felt like? When the light shined into your darkness?), all becomes right with the Lord!
