It's such an easy way to get us discouraged and distracted from the beauty of the cross and the impact grace has on us, and the enemy uses that so quickly in my life.

Make us think we haven't "performed well enough"? Just this morning I was thinking I was a little down on myself because I didn't get something finished before Easter like I had hoped to and instantly God reminded me of the whole purpose of this Easter. The work on the cross means no work I do or don't do can't stand a chance. No opportunity for guilt. Grace, grace, and more grace friend.

I would never want to come across as judgmental upon someone else's way of celebrating Easter, but as for my home and for my family I try to be very intentional. Keeping the focus on the cross in every aspect of this season, even the decor in our home. It really is the little things that make the most impact sometimes!

Our enemy loves to remind us of everything we have done wrong - it is a tactic he uses to get us discouraged. And it totally misses the point of His grace and love. While it is good for us to be purposeful in spending time with Him, we have to remember His grace covers all.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01924916579274465625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908314997698016911.post-82614644272301610542015-04-01T22:36:03.185-04:002015-04-01T22:36:03.185-04:00I join you in trying to reopen my eyes to the powe...I join you in trying to reopen my eyes to the power of the cross!

I have been in the Word, but going along like any other week of the year, rather than a more intentional reflection on the days leading up to Holy Week and Holy week itself.<br /><br />I was encouraged by the list of reminders you shared of what the cross of Christ means for us.<br /><br />Happy Easter!Karen Del Tattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534510202288836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908314997698016911.post-49760823461001785632015-03-30T20:18:48.756-04:002015-03-30T20:18:48.756-04:00Thanks so much for sharing your heart with us in t...Thanks so much for sharing your heart with us in this encouraging post. <br /><br />"No plan B."

I feel it is a holy holiday and the emphasis should be on the resurrection of Christ, without it, we couldn't call ourselves believers. However one celebrates comes down to their personal beliefs, the spring theme is great, but sometimes even believers use it to mask over the true meaning, putting more emphasis on the Easter bunny then Christ.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035008312943297731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908314997698016911.post-68411662061035567732015-03-30T01:46:12.519-04:002015-03-30T01:46:12.519-04:00Beautiful.

I love in Italy, where you think it would be easy to keep faith first and center most, however, ever Easter season I really struggle here - language barriers all of that. This Easter season I've put little to know thought on what this period should mean. Thank you for writing this - it has reminded me (thank God in English) to sit and reflect.Madalinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512669780317902776noreply@blogger.com
