An Easter Mentality All Year Longنموونە

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE!

Most of us have heard the meaningful song popular in the late 1970s, 'You Light Up My Life.' The song was more for a romantic flair, but some of the words could very well describe the inner thoughts of a soul who has found the Lord. I say that because the Lord gives us hope, and it is He who gives light to our lives.

Christ wanted us to live life abundantly on earth. "The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." John 10:10

He provided guidance for us to live that life through His word!

"Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." Psalm 119:105

"Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the world's light. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life." John 8:12

"In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:4-5

These verses are so important any time of the year, but at Easter, they remind us of His promise in John 14:19: "Because I live, you also will live."

May we live each day with the Easter mentality, keeping the Lord at the center of our lives.

Prayer: Father, May we live as if it's Easter Season each day. I stand in awe of how light happens at conception with God written all over the miracle of life! Each life is a precious gift; may we live it with thankfulness in serving You. In Jesus' Name. Amen
