Happy Resurrection Day, friends! Because of Him, we can rise again!

Easter Sunday is a reminder that
if God can bring life out of a grave,
He can restore what feels dead within you.

The dreams you buried.
The hope you lost.
The parts of you that grew tired of trying.

You thought it was over.

But resurrection always comes after
what feels like an ending.

God breathes life into broken things.
So hold on.

He is still working,
and He is not finished with you yet.

Happy Monday! Something to keep in mind this week:

Every reaction costs something. Most people spend that currency without checking the balance first.

The published research is clear: reacting to every perceived threat, every slight, every situation that feels urgent keeps your mind locked in a stress loop. That loop drains your mental energy, elevates your cortisol, and taxes your body at the cellular level.
The pause is where your mind regains the driver's seat.

Before you respond, send the message, have the argument, replay the worry: ask if it's worth what it's going to cost you. Most of the time, the answer will surprise you.

What's something you've been spending energy on that's not paying you back? 👇

While the quote doesn’t need much more elaboration as to the point being made, I think one additional point is important to remember.

We often won’t see how those broken pieces are used in the lives of others. It could be that our suffering is to be stewarded in a more public and far-reaching way, or it may be the impact that our life has on a select few around us, and the ripple effects go on for generations. Sometimes we are given glimpses, but there is a temptation to put our hope in seeing our pain be used or see immediate redemption in a measurable way that feels equal to what we we’ve lost. God often calls us to simply trust him with those broken pieces, even if we never see how he is using it.

It’s easy to slip into the subtle belief that God owes us visible earthly evidence of redemption in a way that makes our pain feel worthwhile. Sometimes we do get to see glimpses, which remind us he is always at work. But often, he simply asks us to trust him that he is working in a million ways while we often only see one or two of those (if any at times). He wants our hope to be in him, not in what we can see and make sense of.

I wonder if part of the joy of heaven will be getting to see all the ways God was at work in and through us in ways we couldn’t see. What sweet rejoicing it will be to see ways that each piece of our shattered life was used to bring healing, hope, and life through Jesus’ redemptive work.

Friend, if all you can see is what’s broken right now, know that God is at work in ways you can’t see. Not one shattered piece will be wasted in the hands of Christ. I’m asking for the faith to believe that right along with you.

But also be confident in this: God has good in store for YOU. He is not merely using your pain for the benefit of others, he is first and foremost working for your ultimate good as one he deeply loves. He is not in the business of “using” you for the gain of another at your expense, but instead redeeming your pain in a way that blesses you and reflects his glory into the lives of many.
