EASTER THOUGHTS

Easter means a lot to me...that there is always HOPE... even if one is on the verge of giving up...that with God anything and everything is possible...that God loves us no matter what, despite everything that we have done in our lives... He will always be a father to all His children and we could all always go back to Him in His loving arms and embrace and when we stumble and fall , He will pick us up. Jesus Christ died on the cross...but to me He never really died. He continues to live and breathe inside our hearts...we just have to closely listen to our hearts for He is always there... He has never left each one of us.

There would be stages in our lives wherein life and the world would be so cruel to us...making it so ever difficult and trying to be able to cope up. Never give up. It is just one of the many stages that we all go through life.  Have you all ever wondered why the burdens lighten up and our spirits brighten up after we pray? I just don't pray...I talk to God as if I am really talking to a father, a friend, a buddy..a constant companion in my life. I laugh with Him, I joke with Him, I pour out all my sadness and problems to Him, I cry in silence to Him....He has been my eternal strength. He is my refuge and my solace.

I always tell my friends that I am no saint. That's my humble announcement that I am a sinner just like everyone else.  I do stumble and fall like a helpless child needing guidance. Don't we all do at times?  But God is always there...and I always run to Him when I am weary and troubled. I find comfort and assurance in His loving arms, that I will be alright... that He will take care of me. Trust me...He is always there to listen to me. He has constantly wiped the silent tears from my eyes that I have hidden from everyone else and He has healed the hurts and pains in my heart. He has given me a short memory of painful and hurting pasts...and a bright memory for happy ones. Isn't He so wonderful?

I write this Easter thought coming from my heart......because today I am closely listening to the beats and whispers of my heart where I have a very special place for the Almighty.

A meaningful Happy Easter of HOPE and LOVE to all of you............Oying here always <3
