Happy Weekend, Happy Easter

I love Easter.

And not for candy or a new dress.

But for Jesus.

I love Him.

He is good.

I love Him so much.

I hope you do too.

I get really overwhelmed when I really meditate on how Jesus loves us.

All of us.

Even if you were the only person on earth, He would have still died for you.

And even if you were only one person, and you never accepted His love,

He STILL would have died for you!

Because He loves you. Even if you don't love Him back.

But when this really hits you. The reality of his love, Well...

You can't not love Him back. 

You are the apple of His eye. Even if you dont even know it! 

But I hope with all my heart you come to know how carefully he cares for you. How deeply He loves you.

It's an irresistible love. And when you know it, you'll never look back.

On this Easter weekend I leave you with this:

 A song by one of my most favorite artists.

It is the most beautifully written tune I know that describes what Jesus did for us.

(hey Charlotte friends in the video! Miss you people!!)

(the lyrics are also below)

Though the Earth Cried out for blood
Satisfied her hunger was
Her billows calmed on raging seas
for the souls on men she craved

Sun and moon from balcony
Turned their head in disbelief
Their precious Love would taste the sting
disfigured and disdained

On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with keys
Of Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave

So three days in darkness slept
The Morning Sun of righteousness
But rose to shame the throes of death
And over turn his rule

Now daughters and the sons of men
Would pay not their dues again
The debt of blood they owed was rent
When the day rolled a new

On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke holding keys
To Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave

On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with keys
Of Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave

He has cheated
Hell and seated
Us above the fall
In desperate places
He paid our wages
One time once and for all

Happy Easter Friends.

Have a lovely weekend!
