I know it’s a little late in the day on Easter Sunday to be posting this, but I feel compelled to do so, so I’ll make this quick. Maybe this is for you.

I believe it’s easy to struggle with identity, and I think that struggling is unfortunately just a part of life. I find myself pretty often questioning what I’m doing with my life, is all the pain worth it, and why is life so dang hard. It’s easy to question things when you’re looking through the lens of a sinner instead of looking at things through the lens of a Savior.

‭But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

‭Isaiah 53:5-6

I don’t even deserve this life that I am living. I don’t deserve my wife and baby. I don’t deserve my family or friends or anything good that comes my way. Yet, God saw fit for me to have everything I do. But, somehow, I still find myself questioning him his plan for me. The more I evaluate my life, the more I see that what I go through is nothing compared to what he went through for me. ‭‭He was pierced for my transgressions. He was crushed for my iniquities; yet by his wounds, I am healed.

You are loved so much!
