<p>Easter is a special kind of holiday for many. As we remember Jesus and what He did for us on the cross, we&#8217;re reminded that we have an opportunity for a new beginning.</p>
<p><strong>He gave us hope.</strong></p>
<p>We remember that, without Jesus, we would be lost.</p>
<p><strong>There are no exceptions.</strong></p>
<p>God&#8217;s finished work in Jesus&#8217; life, death and resurrection is our opportunity to step through the open door where He stands waiting.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s up to each of us to decide, and take the first step.</strong><br />
<span id="more-1614"></span><br />
Incredible miracles happen each and every day. Sometimes it seems like God&#8217;s will is so obvious we should just know how to proceed, but we resist. When we finally decide to do things His way&#8230; the pieces fall into place&#8230; good things start to happen. It is very much like what <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="https://www.youversion.com/bible/111/psa.22.niv" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Psalm 22</span></a></span> says, we step from suffering to joy.</p>
<p><strong>You can be sure there will be new challenges ahead.</strong></p>
<p>Few would offer testimony that the way of the follower of Jesus is always an easy road.</p>
<p><strong>Worthwhile? Indeed.</strong></p>
<p>Psalm 22 is a neat little package that includes posterity&#8230; encouragement to look beyond our own situation to share the riches of abundance with the future generations. The greatest example to them is how we live our lives&#8230; every day of the week.</p>
<p>The Easter conversation at the family dinner&#8230; did you go to church? Seeing in the mind&#8217;s eye to a personal relationship with Jesus&#8230; and the invitation that is open to everyone.</p>
<p><strong>Thankful.</strong></p>
<p>Taking the spirit of remembrance all the way around the calendar.</p>
<p><strong>It Is Finished.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Is there anything holding you back from finishing strong?</strong></p><p>The post <a href="https://chrisvonada.com/from-suffering-to-joy-seeing-in-the-minds-eye-to-it-is-finished/">From Suffering To Joy… Seeing In The Mind’s Eye To It Is Finished</a> first appeared on <a href="https://chrisvonada.com">I'm Just Thinkin'</a>.</p><p>The post <a href="https://chrisvonada.com/from-suffering-to-joy-seeing-in-the-minds-eye-to-it-is-finished/">From Suffering To Joy&#8230; Seeing In The Mind&#8217;s Eye To It Is Finished</a> appeared first on <a href="https://chrisvonada.com">I&#039;m Just Thinkin&#039;</a>.</p>
