Good Friday
Today, as we all know, is Good Friday. I was excited because it meant no school, thanks CSU for giving us one holiday! I spent the day driving home to be with my family this week end for Easter. My mom informed when I got here that our church was showing The Passion tonight and her and my dad were going. I was pretty tired, but I decided to go so I wasn't by myself at the house tonight. I had seen this movie twice before tonight and its true, it gets me every time. Tonight though, I felt convicted. Here I am watching the greatest love story there is, and I started to cry. Yes, the movie in itself makes me cry every time, but this time was diffrent. I was thinking, how many times daily do I deny the cross? Not denying as saying I don't believe in what happened, but denying in a way that I just flat out ignore what Christ did for me. I mean, I don't think I could tell you the last time I thought about the cross outside of a church related function. How horrible is that? What Christ did is the most powerful thing that has ever occured on this Earth and I take it for granted daily. Daily I forget what Christ has done for me or the price He paid for me. Daily I ignore Him and His calling on my life. Daily I walk through this life on my own thinking nothing is going to happen to me. I'm a little shocked at how honest I'm being right now, but its the truth. My life doesn't come close to reflecting the love that I have been given by my Savior. I think as Christians our thoughts everyday should be geared towards the cross. Easter brings about a lot of refelcting on the cross, but we should reflect on it everyday. I mean, its the whole reason we, as Christians, get to have eternal life...because Christ loved us SO much that He went through tourter to save us to Him. Wow...why am I not praising God everyday for this? My prayer is that this conviction that I felt tonight will not just wear off in a couple of days, but will stay with me. I need this constant reminder.
