Rejoice! He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where the Lord was lying.

Today, as we reflect on the Resurrection we rejoice in the promise of eternal life with God in a place where all our tears will be wiped away. We also can relax. Our God is alive and working in each of our lives right now. He is alive and providing us with peace, joy, kindness, gentleness and every other characteristic of a life led and guided by His own Spirit (Galatians 5:22-24). We can rest easy. No matter what challenges we face the God who conquered the grave can handle them all. Our only task? To talk to Him in prayer and trust Him to answer.
