Easter reminds me of love
The love that both God and Jesus have for me
The fact that you were willing to be hung for my sins
You carried the cross falling along the way
Pierced in your side and nails through your hands
Just so that I can can reconciled with the Father
Your unconditional unchanging love for me amazes me day by day
Even when I am not meriting of such grace and mercy
You still give it to me
For all the times I have messed up
For all the times I’ve turned the other way
You are somehow always there
Like a faithful spouse you wait for me to come to you as I am
Not the flawed perfect version of who I think I should be
But the broken imperfect me that stands before you
A woman who is hurt and can easily hurt others
A woman who is confused about her calling and purpose
A woman who is holding on to offence and resentment
A woman currently struggling to forgive others
Even though time and time again you have forgiven me
What have I done to deserve this amazing love?
The longer I stay in darkness
The brighter the reality check will be once the lights are turned on
Is it worth it? For my mouth to say great things but my heart to be so far away
What do I do
Turn away from Him or run to Him?
What do I do
Stay down or get up?
It is worth it
To go back to my first Love and let Him heal me
It is worth it
When you never have to look back
Because you are now a new creation in Christ
You overcame death so that I can have life
So it will all be worth it
