'Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.' Paulo Coelho 

Meaning of remembering: have in or be able to bring to one's mind an awareness of (someone or something that one has seen, known, or experienced in the past).

We located seventy-one verses in the Bible that reference the word… Remember.  

A Heartfelt word indeed...

Remember me… 

How can we remember someone or something we have not taken the time to know?? We could study and learn all the facts… But you will only have the cold, hard facts to remember.  That makes the memories such a sterile, distant thought… 

When we have a close relationship and are asked to remember... What exactly do we remember? Do those memories bring tears? Is there an emotional bond that runs deeper than we know??  Will we remember the details…Do we feel it in the depths of our souls?

We are embarking on a time to remember…  A time in history that has crushed many hearts. A time when a Heavenly Man was unjustly slain for the crime… A crime of loving His children beyond our human understanding.   

Why did the people of yesterday turn their backs on Him? Why did they not have the strength to stop this horrific act of violence on such a special soul ?? 

When we celebrate Easter, do we appreciate Him loving us beyond what we can understand? Do we reflect and feel His pain? Do we try to understand the cruelty and humiliation that He endured publicly? Or are we so far removed that we can not or do not relate to His suffering? Do we move to the victory March without stopping and remembering the heart-crushing details. 

Do we understand the depth of His act of love? Do we feel the heartache and pain that we have caused? Just knowing that we do not love Him enough must wound His heart? 

I do believe we as a people have been programmed through the media that our favorite Hollywood stars die in one movie, but they come back in another. So, we have grown accustomed to this dying and alive routine?  Or is there more?   

When it comes to Jesus, do we recognize the importance of this moment in history? Do we really think of the gift and sacrifice made for our unworthy souls on that monumental day so long ago? 

His victory over death was a beautiful gift and a miracle to all of us from our Heavenly Father. 

But many of us know that is not where this love story ends … 

It truly is a beautiful new beginning.

… He lives… 

I believe we should celebrate Him every day, humble ourselves before Him, and kiss His blood-stained hands!

He gives us so much, but the gift of life and love for eternity… is the show-stopper!!! No one has His grace, power, or capacity to love and forgive such an undeserving world. 

Remember Him! 

It’s Him; it’s always him.

He WOWs me!!! I hope He WOWs you, too. 

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them.
