Grief is real and needs to be felt "and processed". Jesus knew and understood grief. Grief can get us stuck too. At that point how it shifts can turn into sin and be a big problem for us and our relationships.
 
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"
Lamentations
Isaiah 42:3 "A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;"

Easter is the one time a year that the collective focus is on Jesus and what He did for each of us on the cross and by the power of the resurrection. It's as true the Monday after Easter, as it is on Sunday.

Am I clothed with joy? Am I clothed with peace? Am I clothed with patience? Or am I clothed with anger, bitterness, division…? 
“In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22-24‬ ‭

God does not wink at our sin. He's so serious about sin and delivering us from it, He sent His son so we no longer had to be separated from Him. How do you respond to His gift of deliverance?

The struggle is real - what is your struggle? Even as Christ-followers we don't always depend on God for strength. If we don't know God then we tend to wander and keep looking for the grounding that we long for in our hearts. What happens when our thoughts change?

The desire to follow Jesus means we die to our own self and human nature - and it's difficult! But we want others to see that Jesus does make a difference in life!

Dr. Kathy Koch has a passion to highlight that Jesus celebrated kids and the ministry Celebrate Kids equips people to follow His example. She is our plus one on Dawn and Steve as they look at how Christmas and Easter are connected and does how we read the Scriptures matter?
