An Easter Gift

Isaiah 41.17,18
"The poor and needy seek water, but there is none,
Their tongues fail for thirst.
I, the Lord, will hear them;
I, the God of Israel will not forsake them."

Brokenness. Emptiness. Hurts. Disappointments. No comfort. I see these things everywhere.

My heart cries, "Oh, people, come to Him. Come, all who are weary. Come all who hunger for more. Come, all who are cast down and brokenhearted.
For He will give rest to the weary. He will fill the hungry. He will lift up those who are cast down and heal the brokenhearted.
Come to Him who freely does great and marvelous things."

As I tucked my little buddy in bed last night I reminded us both that one day we would all be in heaven together forever, nevermore to be parted, nevermore to know sorrow.

What a gift. What a perfect gift. Freedom from broken hearts, devastated souls, weary and downtrodden spirits, and hurting bodies - forever free!

All for you, all for me - from Him. An Easter gift to all peoples, to every age, to everyone everywhere!

"Free at last, free at last!
I thank God, I'm free at last!"
