Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices... (Psalm 16:9)
It’s been tough for many of us to have a heart full of gladness as some of us have lost family members this past year, some lost jobs, some lost friends, some lost trust and faith in their fellow man, some lost faith in their elected leaders, some lost the fun things of life such as vacations or sporting events or concerts. But, my sisters and brothers in Christ, we have reason to be glad and to rejoice as our Savior has risen! Because of Jesus’s rising, we WILL see our loved ones again, we will rejoice for an eternity in Heaven, we will experience greater joys than we can possibly imagine, our sins have been forgiven, and we will have every year wiped from our eyes for all of eternity! Rejoice and be glad, for we are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song! Amen
