The Father of lies wants you to believe you are what you've done. He wants to fill you with shame. But Shame has an enemy. And the enemy of shame is amazing grace. Amazing grace lifts our heads. Shame is the language of the father of lies. Amazing grace is the voice of Jesus in the dirt with you telling you you are worthy of love and deserving of forgiveness right now; not later, not after you fix something, not after you prove that you're worthy of love, but right now, in this moment, just as you are.

We have an unseen enemy who wants us to believe things that aren’t true so stay in the struggle. But, our Heavenly Father wants us to know and live in the truth. The truth is He is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful, and he's the ancient of days, he's the ruler of rulers, he's the leader of leaders, he's the overseer of the overcomers, he's the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.

Easter is an incredible accomplishment by God. But Easter is a moment of Hope for you. He is offering you a gift—the gift of grace, the gift of hope, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the gift that washes away sin, regret, mistakes, and bad choices and gives you hope for life and death. This is a moment of hope.
