A Time of Hope

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we celebrate Easter this Sunday - it comes with a feeling of renewal - a renewal of spirit and a refreshing of life. A time of hope during a time of uncertainty.

 

I enjoyed writing Living by Faith. The idea was inspired last year when I decided to share a selection of my devotions and articles. In the thirty five years I have been writing, I have learned to be led by the Holy Spirit. It's all about Him! May it encourage and inspire readers to spend time in His presence.  

 

When I complete a devotional, article or book, the first thing I do is take a look at it. Not just a quick glance, but one that is long, concentrated and thorough. First, I look at the words as a whole and then I turn my attention to the details. Although I realize I am the author who created it, I need to view it through the eyes of the reader. In other words, before I sign my name, I must be sure I am satisfied with it. If not, I need to make changes.

I do the same thing with my life. Going over what I've done, how I responded, and what was done creatively as well as the things I didn't handle as well as I should. The most important thing is to put God first each day reflecting on changes we can make that will please Him. If we pray and wait on His direction, He will lead us.  

Let's celebrate this most wonderful time of the year - knowing Christ has risen and if we have accepted Him as Lord - we shall reign with Him forever.
