"It may feel like Friday, but Sunday's coming!"

I borrowed the expression from a video clip we used in church last Sunday. It reminds us that Friday might seem hopeless, dark, broken and hurting, but there is a Sunday that's coming. Jesus didn't leave us in Friday; He led us to Sunday!
I don't know how your life plays out, but mine seems to be filled with more than my share of Fridays. We have had some unexpected expenses on our truck that require money we don't have. We've been dealing with the emotional stress of getting the home of Lisa's mom ready to sell. It's hard to let go of 47 years of memories. I struggle with balancing my life, living out my strengths, being a better dad and husband. Somedays, it just seems like Friday.
But every Friday has a Sunday coming. Every season of winter offers the anticipation of spring. We shouldn't forget that the life Jesus offers isn't something we hope to realize in the future, it's a life we can live now. Words like freedom, healing, restoration, contentment, purpose and more all speak to a life that is available to us NOW!
I want to encourage us all to take the Easter message to heart. It's a message of resurrection and liberty. It's a message of wholeness and joy. Let the power of Easter speak to your life today. Remember, it may feel like Friday, but Sunday IS coming!
