Let the light of the risen Christ direct you

"Let the light of the risen Christ direct you." Father spoke these words to those who are currently finding their direction in life. He wanted to assure us that Christ is with us today, and always.

I hold this phrase close to my heart. Though there has been countless disappointments in life, I try to find the strength within to trust that Christ will direct me to where He wants me to be. There are things which are beyond our understanding, things that might seem impossible. I know deep within that God will lead me out of the darkness into His light. He has shown us with His rising from death.

Help me remain steadfast in your love Lord, and may I find my way in you.

Christ unbinds us

Christ raised Lazarus from the dead. It was a miraculous event as Lazarus was already dead for four days.

As Father mentioned, Christ unbinded Lazarus before asking him to wake. We ourselves are also binded by our sins as Lazarus was binded by the cloth that wrapped him.

We need to ask Christ to unbind us before we can raise from our old self. As this Lenten season draws to a close, I pray that the Lord will unbind me from my sinful self n raise me up to the new life that Easter brings. I pray the same for you.
