For you

-

For you I was beaten and crucified. My body was torn and blood-spattered, For you I watched as my son was brutally attacked and raised upon the cross.

For you I died and was buried.
For you he was hidden away for three days, as was always our plan.

Yes, and for you I was raised anew in a resurrected body. He was raised from the dead after fulfilling the requirements of my law.

He carried the full weight of sin and willingly suffered the consequences so you might have life.

Yes, for you there is now life when all else may seem dead. No more penalty for you who accept the new life.

For you my Holy Spirit has been released and fulfilling is available. You are now partakers of my table and all I have is available to you.

For you is the opportunity to sit with him in the heavenly places. This day, this time and hour are for you. I placed you here now, so others might know me through what I shall do through you.


He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Matthew 28:6a (NJB)

Peter, however, went off to the tomb, running. He bent down and looked in and saw the linen cloths but nothing else; he then went back home, amazed at what had happened. Luke 24:12 (NJB)

And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; but he had vanished from their sight.  Then they said to each other, 'Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the scriptures to us?'
Luke 24:31-32 (NJB)

Do not be discouraged

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
