Easter reflections

Courage is action in the face of fear. 
Unity is fitting despite differences.
Free speech even includes talk you don't like. 
Peace is not merely the absence of war. 
Righteousness is not just staying out of trouble. 

Mercy is not getting punishment you deserve. 

Grace is receiving blessing you do not warrant. 
Relief at mercies extended. 
Gratitude for graces granted. 
The life. The cross. The grave. He is Alive!
God knows, God knows and wants what's best for us. 
Conversion is a part of discipleship with Jesus.  
The goodness of God's Kingdom is available to all. 

Joy is independent of happenstance. 

Faith is trusting a rope while you hang from a cliff. 
Hope is more than wishful, wistful thinking. 
Love means discipline, rebukes, and crosses.
Victory includes Good Friday, Easter, and Pentecost.
