Never Forget
As humans, we tend to forget things all the time. Our car keys, our friends' birthdays, our passwords... those things we tend to forget on accident, and it's usually pretty frustrating when we realize what we've forgotten. But we can also forget good things that have happened to us.
When faced with hard things, we often beg God for miracles or plead for His provision. But when we don't get what we prayed for, we can tend to forget what God has already done for us. If you've done that before, you're not alone—the Bible is full of stories about people forgetting the good things God has done.
God has hand-crafted this breathtaking world and chosen the unique times and spaces in which we show up. And even though the world seems to get crazier and scarier by the minute, God is always at work in the mess.
We can fight against forgetfulness today—right now—by remembering that it was God who created this world and filled it with good things—including His people! It was God who offered us mercy when we didn’t deserve it. It was God who gave us real purpose: to love Him and love others; to know Him and make Him known.
So how have you seen God show up in a way that you never want to forget? Thank Him for what He’s done, and worship Him for who He is.

But none of those moments, as incredible as they are, even come close to the truth delivered on the first Easter morning:
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."
Matthew 28:6 (NIV)
Jesus had been crucified publicly, brutally, and officially. He was wrapped, sealed in a tomb. There was no question. Jesus was dead. It was true.
But when His followers Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived to grieve? The stone was rolled away. The tomb was empty. And an angel met them with the most stunning announcement in human history.
But the angel doesn’t just tell the women the truth. He invites them to look for themselves. To step inside. To experience the...
