Life can be hard, and the constant pressures can wear you down. When this happens, turn to Paul's words in Colossians 3.
We can easily get drawn into lots of spiritual activity for God's kingdom, surrounding ourselves with people, groups, and schedules in the church. But true transformation comes only through time spent with Christ, letting his Spirit abide in us and bring forth fruit.
A question from the app Lectio365 lingers: “Do I pray because I’m into prayer, or because I’m into Jesus?” Reflecting on this helps us prioritize our relationship with Christ over mere routines.
Easter is a day of celebration and joy, but it is made more meaningful and can be transformational when we remember that Easter is about new life because of the death of Christ on our behalf.
