Rise Up! - Sunday, March 31, 2013 | Daily Word


Rise Up!
I RISE UP AND LIVE AGAIN!

Following the example of Jesus, I move through life’s trials with strength and assurance. I need not fear the darkness, for my full faith is in God. I gather my strength and prepare for the resurrection of hope, light and life. Jesus rose from the tomb of darkness, and I will rise up as well.
Sweeter is the sunrise following the darkest night. More magnificent is the view after climbing the highest mountain. Greater is the victory when I’ve tasted near defeat. Most joyous is resurrection from the depths of loss.
I will roll away the stone of sorrow and open my heart to hope. Today I share the good news: The power of Christ Love within is greater than this world! Rise up and live again!
That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem … They were saying, “The Lord has risen!”—Luke 24:33, 34

Easygoing - Saturday, March 30, 2013 | Daily Word


Easygoing
I TAKE AN EASYGOING APPROACH TO LIFE.
Young children view their world with intense curiosity. They focus on whatever is before them in the moment and then move on. Children are open to new adventures and respond to life with unbridled awe and joy.
Today I reclaim this easygoing and adventurous outlook. I relax into the present moment and all that it holds. I release control over the outcome and delight in witnessing the creative ways things play out.
As I experience the transforming power of letting go and trusting God, I realize the amazing gift of being present. I notice the diverse expressions of beauty in the world. I am easygoing as I enjoy the simple gift of life.
Live as children of light—for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true.—Ephesians 5:8-9

Glory to God
