He Has Risen Just As He Said

The Lord has risen just as He said he would. He not only conquered death, He walked among His disciples and even let  Thomas touch the wounds on  His hands and His feet.  They watched Him  ascend into  the heavens with a promise that he  would  be coming back.  All of this  so that we  who are in Christ will rise as well, and have eternal life.  We must  believe, and we must  also rise up to do  the things that the Lord asked  us to do for this wonderful privilege.  Rise up from  your place of comfort and serve the Lord.  We all can do  something in this world to share His Word, or give Him glory.  We can wake up and say today I am going to  show the love  of Christ to who ever I meet.  I know someone who is  in a sewing group making clothes for orphans.  A friend of mine goes out every Wednesday with peanut butter sandwiches, and cookies for Homeless people.  They know her car, and come out of there makeshift homes to greet her as she drives along where they are waiting for that peanut butter sandwich.  That’s just two examples of rising up and serving the Lord.  This Easter season I rose up and made Easter Egg Pins with a cross on the back which I attached to one of my photo’s with scripture on it.  As I always do I passed them out to the Cancer Center I go to.  Yesterday I had one in my purse when I shopped.  There was a sample lady who was so sweet as she gave me her product.  I walked away and didn’t get to far before the Lord spoke to me and told me to go back and give her the pin and scripture I had in my purse.  So I turned around and went back and told her I have something for you.  I gave her the little gift and she got tears and said I made her day.  She gave me the biggest hug and I walked away knowing that the Word of God was delivered.  We all should rise and meditate on how we can serve the Lord, He is so worthy!!!  He Has Risen!
