Happy Sunday and Happy Easter! There sure are a lot of "normal" things that seem to be taking extra effort these days--showering, laundry, being patient, making pretzel jello (a family favorite) for Easter dinner. Sometimes we just have to do the hard things even when we don't want to and when we do, we are "rewarded" by our efforts. But today, Easter, is a perfect day to be reminded that with God we do not have to do any extra work to earn his love and salvation--they are both gifts that Jesus bought with his death on the cross. There is nothing you can do to make God love you more. You do not have to perform or achieve anything to attain God's redemption. You simply need to believe that Jesus died for you. He died and was resurrected on the third day so that we may have the freedom to enjoy his saving grace and unconditional love. No extra effort on our part is required. Thank you, Jesus!
