Christ is resurrected and the tomb is empty. Men buried him but he raised himself. Who could do that other than God? Christ is risen from the dead and by death has trampled down death and to those in the tombs bestowing life.


The bond between a mother and child is based on love that never ends. A mother would gladly give her life for her child. A mothers providence is without measure. Now isn’t that just exactly how Christ loves you and me?


Spiritual striving leads to spiritual growth. Spiritual growth flows back into and re invigorates spiritual striving. It is in this way that we grow in love to Christ. It is this way that we understand that Christ is all in all. Without Christ we have nothing. With Christ we have all things.


Life is a work in progress. Your character learns  little from success but a few failures, especially early in life are salutary and character building. Mistakes will happen. Whether we grow as a result or withdraw within marks the true test of our character.
