Time-tos

Heavenly Father, our hearts are open, awaiting Your Son’s Resurrection.

Take time today to be still and reflect on Jesus’ death.

We focus on Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, but we forget to pause in the stillness of the days between. Find time today to be present in that place of waiting. There is treasure to be found in the sacred peace that comes as you breathe in that place of quiet surrender. Don’t rush through

On this sacred day I dedicate myself to You. May I live humbly serving You by showing mercy and love to others.

The greatest pain of the cross was the pain of sin. Jesus didn’t deserve to feel the shame, but he felt it. He didn’t deserve the humiliation, but he experienced it. He had never sinned, yet was treated like a sinner. He became sin. All the guilt, remorse, and embarrassment– Jesus understands it… —Max Lucado

Heavenly Father, as I journey through Holy Week towards the cross help me to be an extension of Your love in the lives of others.

Love one another as He loves us.

Lord, help me always to be open to Your calling.

We are all wounded. But wounds are necessary for God’s healing light to enter into our beings. Without wounds and failures and frustrations and defeats, there will be no opening for his brilliance to trickle in and invade our lives. —Bo Sanchez, author

God has given us two hands — one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing. —Billy Graham

Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own. —H. Jackson Brown

When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. —Elie Wiesel
