Life to the Max; HAPPY EASTER"

Standing in front of the refrigerator I’ve opened for the 10th time in the last seven minutes; I’ve tasted everything it offers that might appeal to me and now full, I’m still hungry, I’m still not satisfied.

Designed for greatness, marred and limited both by our own nature and choice; we look throughout our days for help, direction and hope, sometimes rescue. Left to ourselves, we drift, struggling to find our center and niche; that one thing that offers fulfillment and meaning to our existence and lives. Continually standing in front of the “refrigerator of life” tasting anything of interest, nothing satiates the deep hunger or our souls. We are full but not satisfied.

Easter is as much about the restoration of our own lives to their original design and intent, as it is to the reconciliation of the relationship with our Creator and God. (So many people limit their understanding of Easter, to a religious experience meant to offer heaven, confined to holidays and structured liturgy for certain hours and times of the week organized and controlled only by professionals.) In fact, it is in that reconciled relationship the reality of our design becomes viable! In a day when so many are looking for meaning and answers are you offering more than just “pie in the sky” are you offering the tangible “now”, that truly satisfies?

Don’t get me wrong I want heaven and all it represents! In this season as we contemplate the gift of Christ’s sacrifice and His resurrection know this; His payment of our debt for failed lives and mutated natures, offers transformation, not only of a broken relationship with God himself, but of ourselves. We are “born again” to fulfill the hunger of our souls. It was God’s design, it is our destiny. His amazing gift is the source, His Spirit; our resource. Our lives, their desire, design and response; the results, “the now”!

Christ’s sacrifice and victory offers access to the mind of the creator, and life to the maximum! It truly is a position of “under stated and over delivered”! I hope you are celebrating it, this season especially and doing all you can to thrive in it, daily delivering it to all you touch!

Have a Blessed Easter!
