Easter (Part 6)

Accepting Jesus as your Savior can begin to turn your life into the joyous experience you always hoped it could be. It is a process that begins with one simple step.

-The first step is simply to realize and know just how much God loves you. Once you see that God loves you and wants you to be happy then everything in your life will become better. You will begin to feel, in fact, just how glorious life can be. When you accept Jesus the old things are passed away and all becomes new.

-The next step is to love God back. That is all God ever asks of us. By loving God back you will take the first step towards living the way you were meant to-blessed beyond measure.

-Step three is to love yourself. If God loves you then you should be able to love yourself as well. You are a Child of God, after all, and worthy of love. Forgive yourself and then you can forgive those that have wronged you.

-The final step is to go out and love others too. Love is a gift that you can’t just keep to yourself. It has to be shared. 
Step by step you will know the joy of Jesus and then you will never want to stop sharing His message. Your soul will come alive. Love and joy will flow through you and show up in every single thing you do. You will not only change your life but also become a blessing to God and to the world.

On this Easter Sunday why not receive Him? Just ask Him into your heart. I guarantee if you will make the first step the rest will be a lot easier.

God bless and Happy Easter!
