"Because I live, you also will live" Jesus said. With these words we were finally able to lift our eyes up.
I look into the mirror and I see a face that is getting older. I see someone who is anxious about parts of their life. I see someone who knows that on some level, the problems in my life are caused by my own words and actions.
I look around and I see others who are like me. Some hide it better than others but no one hides it perfectly. Everyone has something that is weighing them down.
But because He lives I can look up and see past the failures and futility. Because he lives I can look in the mirror and see an eternal soul that God has loved from all eternity. Because he lives I look at the world and I see people that I am able to love and serve because Christ promises to always be with me. Because he lives I no longer hang my head in shame before a holy God but I lift up my eyes to hear Jesus say to me that all my sins are forgiven. Because he lives I also will live.
