Resurrection Sunday.

Hi everyone! I know I didn't post on Resurrection Sunday, but I hope you all had a great day! This Resurrection Sunday was special for me. I left church with a different attitude towards the Cross & Jesus. A better one, of course! I left with a greater appreciation of the Cross & Jesus's sacrifice for us. Lately, I have been dealing with not to reading my Bible & praying. I mean I felt like I had to do those things when I should want to do them. Sunday reminded me why I do what I do. Sunday reminded me that I serve the almighty God & that He loves me sooo much that He sent His only Son to die for me so that I could be here today. Not only did God send His Son, but His Son did it! That's the thing, Jesus didn't have to do it, but He did!!
This morning I was watching The Bible on tv & it was the Passion episode. As I was watching, I began to cry tears of thankfulness because it didn't have to be that way. Jesus did not have to do it for us! He could've easily said "nope, I want my life & they can just be punished for their sins", but no! He humbled Himself & took all of the beatings & was nailed for all of us! How amazing is the Father's love for us!!! And because He took us seriously when He died on the Cross, we must take Him seriously everyday of our lives. That's the reason why I chose not to curse everyday. That's the reason why I chose to praise God when people my age are headbanging at concerts. That's the reason why I chose to wait to have sex when I'm married while people my age are having sex with whoever. Jesus is the reason why I am who I am!! Without His love & without Him being the perfect sacrifice, we would be NOTHING!!! Absolutely NOTHING!
From now on I chose to be better. I chose to read my word instead of always being on social networks. I chose to please God & not people. I chose Jesus over my desires. I chose Jesus. You can have this whole entire world, just give me Jesus♥
