Happy Easter!

To say it was solely about sin made the Good News a bit small. Not "small" because sin's not a problem..."small" because His vision is SO MUCH BIGGER! The heart of heaven beats for the restoration of all things. That mankind would see sin as the fruit of something deeper...broken relationship...broken identity. And beyond...see that the death and resurrection ushered in the presence of God in the heart's of men if we so allow. The kind that breaks chains of sin's slavery, brings peace to wounds and hurts, calls out true strength, releases into dreams and destiny, unleashes the great romance and adventure...AND sets sights OUTWARD...to bring justice to the poor, enslaved and broken, to steward His precious creation, to build and create and inspire, to evict the evil that we permitted and take back ground lost to its scheming...to bring compassion and hope and change to the world...and it goes on and on and on. So when Jesus died for and of your broken heart, He did it so you could truly LIVE from a whole one. He set His sights on the words that the good Father inscribed on the walls of your heart and was dreaming BIG dreams for you. He saw what the infusion of His presence in your life could illuminate and release...and found it worth dying for. It was...and still is...beautiful. So...Happy Easter, Love! May it be a new year of grand and divine adventure!
