Happy Easter!

Easter has come and the time to rejoice in the resurrection of Christ is more profound now than ever. After His suffering and death in the cross to redeem us from our sin, He has returned after the promise of rising from the dead three days after. May the death of Christ which redeemed us from sin and His resurrection be forevermore a reminder of God's great love for us, a love that lead Him to send his only begotten son not to punish or condemn us but to bring us forgiveness and enternal life. With this, let us ponder with this passage, "Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also  should walk in the newness of life" (Romans 6:4).

Everyday, God gives us the opportunity for a new life. We may have sinned yesterday, we may have committed something that offended the Lord. But through prayer and through Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven and forgiven. God is not a human to behold grudge but a Father that forgives a child who repents and comes back to Him. The Holy Week has been a time of repentance and seeking God's forgiveness. The Easter meanwhile is a symbol that God has forgiven us all ready and His welcoming arms await us when we reach our home in heaven.

This Easter, be inspired by reading these books:

If you think the world is in your shoulder, Max Lucado's Give it All to Him (2004) will inspire you to trust God no matter what circumstance befalls you. Indeed, leave it all to Him!

If you aren't inspired to pray, Stormie Omartian's The Prayer That Changes Everything: Books of Prayers (2005) will help you get on your kneels and open up to God.

And if you think God is a distant entity that resides from a distance, think again. A.W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God (2005) will help you know God up close and personal.
