He is Risen indeed!  He has risen more than 2000 yrs ago!  We are commemorating His Resurrection.  He died for our sins for Our Creator loves us so much!  He sets us free!  Free for life!  I can not begin to express my gratitude toward Our Savior.  Dear brothers &amp; sisters in -Christ, we are one by His love. He loves, the good , the bad, the beautiful &amp; ugly.  He accepts us anytime &amp; every time we turned in toward Him, no matter how many times , we have failed Him.  Through Him, I truly understand Thy will be done &amp; accepts it with gladdened heart.  It is not easy to forgive &amp; forget those who have wronged  me for no true &amp; valid reason.  God is perfect, yet the world turns their back on Him then, &amp; today.  Who I am to complain of my trials &amp; tribulations?  God says each of us  has to carry our cross with dignity.  Hence forgive  &amp; forget those who have harm us directly or indirectly for doing so ,pleases God.  When I  please Him, my reward is 100-fold &amp;  long lasting.  Therefore, whoever wronged me, they do it out of pride.  I dare not be prideful for that will be my downfall, my lost&#8230;.  alienating myself of  The only one who makes me complete.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many times, should I forgive &amp; forget?  7X 77? or infinitely?  The latter one.  It has becoming easier to do so, as I accept The Living Christ who dwells in me.  I am never alone. He is always there.  I just have to whisper His name.  Oh, The Almighty, you are so generous to me &amp; all others who trust totally in you.   I am Fearful of your wrath greatly, not of my brothers &amp; sisters.  You are all-totally-Powerful.  You have no equal.  I rest in your arms today &amp; everyday.  I will not let you go until I see you face -to -face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At such time, I shall only know gladness, light -heartedness, free of pain, free of unfairness, free of long suffering.  That day will come.  I can not wait.  Forgive me, for trying to expedite our meeting.  Thank you for opening my mind with your Holy Spirit so suddenly for the improvement of my children &amp; myself.  I have never doubted your love during hard times.  You can continue to test me. At your side, that is where I belong.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am content in the silence, where I can hear you clearer.  I will always turn my small &amp; big problems to you.  The beautiful reality is that  you  do not charge for your services.  You know my needs, more than I know them myself. Let your light lead my path &amp; your light to help me become more like you everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, Spiritual Father, I owe all that I am &amp; help me every second to continue to be  a better person, a helpful one, that you place someone or many  on my path.  Alleluia!  Amen!  Thank you for all.  I will never cease to thank you &amp; thank you enough Abba.  May you bring peace to this world so fragmented. May you not turn totally away to all nations that are suffering, especially my native Homeland.  Have pity on my country of birth.  I know for certain, that you are The  Father of all nations, even the nations that heart headed or not believing in Your Majestic Presence.  I intercede to you for all who turn their back on you.  For if they knew, what they were doing, they will have stopped already. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In your name, I trust &amp; believe. Amen! Alleluia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your Heiress in your Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He is risen!
