Jesus is risen from the dead! Because He lives, we also shall live. My life and my recovery have hope because of this truth. All sin – from the beginning of time to the end of time – was laid on Jesus and not even the awful weight of death for these sins could hold Him down. Jesus' resurrection demonstrates that no sin or evil, no pain or brokenness could ever overcome the power and love of God for those who are in Christ Jesus. 
I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT)
No matter how miserable or fearsome our lives may have been, not even the weight of that can hold us down when Jesus Christ fills us with life. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in us when we completely surrender our will and our lives to God. Are we willing to do that?
God works for good in all things for those who love Him, those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)
What seems impossible for us, is only impossible when God is not involved. When we truly seek God, things happen that are beyond all that we could ask for or imagine. God’s ways are more generous than we ever dared to hope. God’s power is stronger than anything we have previously encountered. God’s kindness to us is more than any loving response we’ve ever experienced.
When we invite Jesus into our lives He brings power with solutions and hope. He fills us with His Holy Spirit. He fills us with peace and joy.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I believe that the death and resurrection of Jesus gives evidence of the fact that You have power over sin and death. Today, I turn my will and my life over to Your care and ask that You make me alive in my spirit. Teach me Your ways and give me the desire and power to follow You all the days of my life. Amen
