HAPPY RESURRECTION! God is so amazing. Is He at times hard to comprehend? YES! Is He at times hard to see? YES! Has He revealed Himself to us? YES! YES! YES! That is precisely what Easter is all about – God making Himself known and available to us! WOW!
I don’t know about you, but I love giving gifts more than receiving them. I love to see the surprise in someone’s face over a gift. I love to see the expression of thankfulness that words can’t utter when a gift is given. I love to see the joy and fulfillment that comes when a really meaningful gift is given.
Do you know that God is the ultimate giver of gifts? Sure He likes to receive our gifts to Him (praise, worship, gratitude, obedience, surrender, faith), but He really loves to give gifts to us. And nothing matches THE GIFT He gave to us in His Son Jesus!
I can only imagine the excitement God gets when a person is surprised by His gift of grace in Jesus. I can only imagine the understanding God has when a human being is speechless over the love they’ve experienced in the gift of Jesus. I can only imagine what satisfaction God gets when an unfulfilled, empty life becomes utterly filled with peace by receiving the connection to God that only comes from the sacrificial gift of Jesus.
Yes, I can only imagine. My best imaginations, fall far short of the true reality of God’s sheer pleasure when we receive the gift of Jesus!
Have you received the gift God has for you in His Son Jesus? If you do, you will make God’s day!
Glad for you,
Jeff Powell
