Hola readers!

It's Easter.
Today marks the day I think about Jesus hanging on the cross. It wasn't an easy death. It is said to be the worst death any human could possibly face. Historians say His heart burst. Strips of skin hung off his back. He was naked. His friends betrayed Him. Soldiers mocked Him. Blood poured off His face. Literally He was unrecognizable.
It wasn't an easy death but He died willingly.
Today marks the day that darkness was conquered. Today is the day of remembrance when Love fought.
It wasn't an easy fight but He fought willingly.
Jesus hung on the cross. 
It's become a story of legends.
It's become so well known I don't think we realize the impact.
It's become the story of legends and many don't care.

 But I don't care what you believe. I don't care who you are or what you have done. I don't care and I want you to know: Jesus died for YOU. 
YOU. 
YOU. 
Jesus died for you, you wonderfully broken human. If the whole human race had been wiped away and it was only you and He standing there
He still would have died.
I don't know if you can grasp that concept. I don't know if you can grasp how wonderfully loved you are this Easter.
Most people dream of a love like Jesus gave. Most people would give anything to feel a love that strong -- to have someone love them so much they would die for them. They wouldn't dream of ignoring someone who would give their life for them.

But Jesus doesn't push His love on anyone. He doesn't force himself onto us, making us robots of His will.
He only asks that we come and take His love.
It's there for the giving...if we are willing.

Jesus died for YOU.
You.
We tend to play-down this mind-blowing love, this mind-blowing action given by the Savior of the world. We tend to put it off, say "later."
But some people don't have later.
Some people say later but later never comes.
Jesus loves you, reader.
I don't know who you are or your beliefs or the season you are in, but He loves you.
It's a simple, easy concept. He doesn't ask you say the right things, to come changed...when we let Jesus's love take over, you can't help but change....worry about that later. He just asks you to take His love and run with it.
He doesn't ask us to clean ourselves and come to Him.
He doesn't ask us to save ourselves....He's ready to do that for us.
He just asks us to let Him love on us.
Because He loves you.
You.
He died for you.
And He would do it again in a heartbeat. He doesn't regret dying. He doesn't regret the pain. And there was pain. Jesus understands pain. He understands your pain.
He loves you.
He loves you.
He.
Loves.
You.

You.

You are loved. YOU.

You are so loved.
I wish you could know how much.
I wish you wouldn't hesitate to accept that love.
You are loved.

So loved.

It's a simple Easter concept.
It's become a cliche.

But it's true.
It's overlook but so true.

Easter is about love.
Ultimate, passionate love...for you.
YOU.

YOU.
Are.
Loved.
