Happy Easter
HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE!
IF I DON’T GET TO SAY IT ANYWHERE ELSE IN THIS POST — HE IS RISEN , AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE ARE ALL SAVED… IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE.
THE OTHER DAY I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MY BEST FRIEND THAT REALLY HIT ME IN THE HEART, AND I HOPE HE SEES THIS BECAUSE HE’LL KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I’M GOING WITH IT. HE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO ME AND USED THE PERFECT ANALOGY OF RACE HORSES.
YOU EVER WATCH A HORSE RACE? I HAVEN’T BEEN TO ONE IN MY 51 YEARS, I MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT ONE ON TV ONCE, BUT THE PICTURE HE PAINTED STUCK WITH ME. AT THE KENTUCKY DERBY THEY LINE UP 20 INCREDIBLE HORSES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS STRONG, FAST, AND HAS BEEN BRED AND TRAINED TO BE A CHAMPION. NOBODY KNOWS WHICH ONE IS GOING TO WIN THAT DAY — IT COULD BE THE BIG FAVORITE OR THE LONG SHOT. BUT ANY OF THEM COULD TAKE THE VICTORY.
THAT’S EXACTLY HOW JESUS SEES EACH ONE OF US. HE LOOKS AT YOU AND ME AND SEES CHAMPION RACE HORSES. HE KNOWS THAT GIVEN THE CHANCE, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN THE RACE. WE MIGHT NOT KNOW THE OUTCOME, BUT HE BELIEVES IN OUR POTENTIAL COMPLETELY.
SO WHATEVER YOU’RE CHASING IN LIFE — BIG DREAMS OR SMALL DAILY WINS — REMEMBER THIS: YOU ARE YOUR OWN NUMBER ONE RACE HORSE . AND WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS, IT’S LIKE ADDING A TURBO BOOSTER TO YOUR STRIDE. NO ONE, NOT EVEN YOU, KNOWS EXACTLY HOW IT’S GOING TO TURN OUT… BUT YOU HAVE JUST AS MUCH OF A CHANCE TO WIN AS ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE. DON’T EVER SELL YOURSELF SHORT.
AND EVEN IF THINGS DON’T GO YOUR WAY THIS TIME AND YOU’RE FEELING DOWN, HOLD ON TO THIS: JESUS NEVER GIVES UP ON YOU. HE’S STILL IN YOUR CORNER, STILL CHEERING YOU ON.
ALSO, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CHECK OUT THE SONG INCLUDED HERE, I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER HEARD BIG BAND CHRISTIAN #MUSIC BEFORE. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THIS IS A WHOLE NEW GENRE!
GOD #BLESS YOU ALL. I HOPE YOUR #EASTER IS FILLED WITH HOPE, PEACE, AND JOY!
