Today rather than go to church, I felt a need to experience God in a more natural way. I have an attraction to trees. I find trees interesting because the ones with character are those that display evidence of making it through periods of growth and even those of struggle at the biological level. This was the thing that struck me on this day of Easter. Jesus had to endure so much pain and agony, trials and struggles, to prove his character, his truth to us mere mortals who have to have "evidence" or it doesn't really happen. Easter is that evidence of growth and hope. He is risen, let us rejoice.
We too have character due to the experiences - good, bad or indifferent - that prove evidence that we can survive. The character that we develop may not be seen externally as it does with a tree, but it is just as significant. How else do we learn empathy, sympathy, joy and love without those character-building experiences. Learn to grow through joy and pain, knowing that both are only moments in time and you will prevail if you just give it time.
Happy Easter 2017
