Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
Ephesians 5:1-2 The Message

Isn't that beautiful? His love was not cautious but extravagant. I looked up the meaning of extravagant and it said, "going beyond what is deserved or justifiable" Sounds like grace again, huh? The creator of the Universe didn't love us to get something from us but to give his whole self to us. How lucky are we?

I'm really thankful today amid all the Easter eggs and chocolate and baskets that I can tell my children that Jesus died for me and for them and that today we get to celebrate his resurrection. I am 35 years old and this is the first Easter that has really resonated in me - where I have been aware that today is the day Jesus conquered death.

I just praise God for all his blessings.
