At Easter, I remember the sacrifice that God made for me. He gave us Himself in human form known as Jesus, who died a horrible death to cover our sins. My Father loved me so much that He went through the pain and the agony of death to save me!
What an awesome thought! Have you ever considered what Christ did for you and me that day on the Cross? Have you ever internalized that and made it part of you? Would you be willing to endure what He did for anyone? I suppose, like me, you might think that you would do that to save your children or maybe your spouse. But, whether I like it or not, I at some point would probably beg for it to be stopped. Not Christ! He was there until the end.
It's always been difficult for me to accept that someone would give of themselves in such a way. I'm used to people hurting me, using me, only doing something for me if there was something in it for them. Not Jesus! Jesus sacrificed all for me so that I might be saved and live with Him for eternity.
Easter means more to me than chocolate bunnies, great candy, coloring eggs (all of which I do enjoy greatly). Easter means my forgiveness.

Hey Michelle, you know this whole blog thing is new to me too. I started one also but not sure whether I want every in yet.
OK, I just wanted to make sure I could post that before I wrote out something long that I would not want to have to start over again.
It is very refreshing to see how open you are to talking about being saved. My guess is that you are a born again christian and that just makes me happy.
I grew up in a christian family and went to church regularly until I reached me teens then I rebelled but I always knew Jesus was with me during my partying years. It was good to know he was with me. I was saved as a child and baptised probably when I was 10 or 11. I have it written down in my bible. But I was brought up knowing that Jesus is in my heart and even though some people or new christians might not understand that part, it just is. I have never doubted it. So to see you being so happy to be living your life trusting in Christ after going through so much that you have it is just refreshing and I am so happy for you.
Hi Susie, yes I am a born-again Christian of a couple years. You kind of hit the nail on the head with why I started this blog. I just have so much to get out :)
Thanks for reading!
