March 12 – Dead No Longer
Jesus is the only one who, once dead, raised Himself back to life. His visit to the grave was a short one. He was just making a delivery (my sin), and doing some vandalism (kicked down the gates) and theft (the keys).

“I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. I made up my mind that when I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.”
All too often I get bogged down in the day to day of life and I’m only living from one problem, or task, or crisis to the next.
Every time I cheat others, I am sinning against God. Every time I sin against God, I am cheating others.
God, I believe You… except when I don’t.
We try so hard to cover it, to hide it. Still He sees. Still He loves.
Thank God we have evolved.
Through the best and the worst that life has thrown at me, I can say with confidence that never once has my Savior left me alone.
Before dawn would break Jesus was getting alone to spend time with the Father. Over and over again He would do this. If He needed to do so, how much more do I?
This is for me.
This is for you.
This is for the lonely, the tired, the alone, the single.
