Good day dear friends.
Someone "tagged" our wooden fence that is located in our children's playground at church. Being wooden it lends itself to tagging, that is, the marking with graffiti. This one was done in chalk and I'm guessing it was by the hand of an older person, not a teen or a child. The tag reads, "HE LIVES!" Sunday, between services two little boys playing on the grass stopped when one of the boys saw it and pointed it out to his friend. Having been the first to spot it he read it to his friend, "HE LIVES!" The two just nodded and smiled, then went back to running and playing.
What in your life says HE LIVES? Are you a living "tag" for the risen Christ? Do people see in you the living Christ or are you a living Snopes? Snopes.com is the site one can check out the validity of those million forwards we get and send. Some of the emails contain the most precious stories of faith and warm feelings and someone will always "check it" at snopes.com and discover that it may have been a great story, but it just didn't happen.
He Lives is part of a great story that faith says did happen. It tell of God's power and ability to help us rise above our deepest challenges and setbacks, to higher ground and to higher living. He lives is an eternal story that will bless all who believe.
May your life be tagged today with the line that frees us all: HE LIVES!
PRAYER: God of life, thank You for Your power and ability to lift me above what I am facing today. I may be weeping and weak, but Your love and grace make me strong, strong enough to move forward. I pray this in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
