Easter

It is now just after Easter weekend. This has been the time when Christians gather in community and celebrate the great sacrifice Christ made. We remember when He died and rose once again so that all of humanity may be redeemed from their own sin and earned wrath.

It is also on this weekend that the temptation towards my own old sin has returned. I knew it would come, though, and I am ready to resist and flee from it. God has not forsaken be nor will He ever. Though I am hard and stubborn He is forming me, ever so slowly and skillfully, into what He has planned for me to be.

He is truly worthy of praise.

O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.
