Feel loved this Easter!

Here’s a special resource to encourage you with the Bible’s most repeated command. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  [Pastor Rick's Daily Hope](  {NAME}, Today we remember a day that had to be terrifying for Jesus’ disciples—Good Friday. I’m sure to them, nothing about that day felt "good." Their friend and only hope had died. They were scared of the Jewish leaders, scared of the Romans, scared for the future. The very first "Good" Friday filled Jesus’ followers with fear. Are you feeling fearful today? Or maybe troubled? Anxious? Stressed? Angry? Those are all expressions of fear. And if you’re feeling that way, you’re not alone. Fear is humanity’s most common problem. It’s also our oldest problem. Adam’s very first words recorded in the Bible were, "I was afraid . . . so I hid" (Genesis 3:10 NIV). But what is God’s most repeated command in the Bible? The one the Scriptures give us 365 times. Fear not. Do not be afraid. As you prepare your heart for Easter, I want to remind you that the Good News of Easter is this: You can live fearlessly. Romans 8:15 (MSG) says, "This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What’s next, Papa?" God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children." Friend, you are so, so deeply loved by God. And as 1 John 4:18 (NCV) tells us, love and fear cannot exist in the same heart. "Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love drives out fear." So as a special gift for you this Easter, I asked my team to create a resource to remind you of God’s great love for you.

You’re free! I love you and am so thankful for you, this Easter and always.
