When you are on the Lord's side you are on the right side. Jesus speaks words of encouragement everyday that pertain to exactly what we are going through. Do you feel attacked from every side? Jesus knows the feeling. Do you feel abandoned by friends? Jesus has been there. Do you feel tired and heavy pressed? Jesus says he will give you rest. Even if you have many setbacks, even if you are going through hard times you have a Savior that says come to me, think of me, lay your burdens down and just rest on me. Won't you do it? Release grudges you are holding on to, pull off the barnacles of hubris from your heart. That is the only way God can restore what is damaged. Jesus is in the R business;

Anointed by God.

Called to live for God.

Set apart.

Not your own.

Sacrificially gifted.

Anointing comes with a price. The beauty in it is you can hear God's voice clearly and know what he wants you to do.

Resurrection Sunday has more telling in its name of who we worship than chocolate bunnies and Peep marshmallow candy. It is powerful and accurate. Although pastel bunnies and cute little edible chicks would be good to eat right now.

How do we stay pure?

During strange times, Jesus is the answer.
