An Easter Prayer...

Lord,

Thank You for the gift of HOPE
You gave us on Easter Morning.
Because of You we know
that no problem is too difficult
and even death has no power over us.

Thank You for the gift of JOY
You gave us when You were resurrected.
Because of You we know that
no matter how challenging life may be,
in the end we will rejoice again.

Thank You for the gift of LOVE
You gave us when You laid down Your life.
Because of You we know that
there is no sin too great to separate us
and we are incredibly valuable to You.

Thank You for the gift of LIFE
You gave us when You left the tomb.
Because of Easter we know
that this world is just the beginning,
and we will spend forever in Heaven with You.

We celebrate You, JESUS,
with hearts full of praise and gratitude
for who You are and for all You've done for us.

Amen!

Holly Gerth, Writer, Dayspring.

Happy Easter!

Beautiful poem. Don't you just watch Beth over and over again?!! Love it. I awarded Wholly Devoted with the thinking award! And not because I needed a 5th, but because it is very deserving and is the blog that introduced you to me.
