I can’t help myself — I still have my Easter decor’ up and am still living in the moment of embracing my risen Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He lives! Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me and talks with me and tells me I am His own. He lives. He lives — salvation to impart. You ask me how I know He lives — He lives within my heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Easter Sunday, a week ago, across the world, voices rose in celebration — He is risen! Churches filled, songs were sung, and hearts were stirred by the beautiful reminder that Jesus walked out of that grave.
And oh, what a glorious day it was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the quiet, steady truth that lingers long after the lilies fade and the songs grow softer — He still lives. Today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because He lives, we don\u2019t just celebrate life — we live it.
Not a someday hope — but a right-now peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause I live, you also will live.\u201d (John 14:19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means on ordinary Tuesdays — in doctor\u2019s offices —
around kitchen tables — through laughter and through tears —
He lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I see Him.
I see Him in Carl — steady, kind, and faithful.
In my family — in their love, their growth, their resilience.
In friends who pray, who show up, who carry one another through hard seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn\u2019t just a story we remember once a year.
It\u2019s a life we experience every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same power that rolled away the stone — still rolls away fear.
still lifts heavy hearts and still breathes peace into anxious places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So no, I don\u2019t need a calendar to remind me that Jesus lives.
I see Him.
I know Him.
I walk with Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here\u2019s the invitation for all of us — not just to remember Easter — but to live it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To wake up each day knowing — He is present. He is powerful.
He is personal.
And nothing — not even death — has the final word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, whatever you\u2019re facing, let this settle gently into your heart —
The grave is still empty.
The Savior is still alive.
And resurrection life — is still ours to walk in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
