Easter Reflections

There are a lot of things I don't know.

It's a simple and yet sometimes discouraging truth,

That I'm quite human and fallible.

However, on this Easter evening my heart is- without a doubt- full of

Love

and 

Truths

That I feel and know with every fiber of my being, and that I sincerely feel compelled to share:

Jesus is the Christ.

His example to

Serve

Love

Lift

Refine

Heal

Lights up my soul at the very thought of

One who would give His life

To give life

For those who were treated as if they had nothing to live for.

The

Lepers

Outcasts

Poor

Women

Children

Downtrodden

Prostitutes

Beggars

Regardless of 

Age

Ethnicity

Creed

Gender

Income

He paved the way so that all might have a way

To

Joy

Love

Light

Even in the midst of life's

Sorrows

Trials

Struggles

Imperfections

Darkness

We can find

Comfort

Happiness

Transformation

Belonging

Light

Connection

and

Purpose.

Regardless of personal beliefs in Christ might we consistently ask ourselves the following questions:

How might we be extensions and embodiments of these principles?

How can we succor the weak?

Feed the hungry?

Clothe the naked?

Lift the beggar?

Saturate others (and ourselves) with transformative love?

Befriend the outcasts?

Light up the world?

How can we better walk each other home?
