We died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ
was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may
live new lives. —Romans 6:4 (NLT)
I am free, Lord, because you cared more about me than you cared about
yourself. You died for me—for my ugliness and my sin. I am new Lord, because
you walked out of your tomb resurrected and restored. Freed from all the
bondage of my failures, I can also can walk out of my own tomb, resurrected and
restored from all that has claimed my life. No more hiding because of my
failures and sins and weaknesses—I leave the old me in the tomb. That person is
no more. She is gone. I rejoice in your freedom. I soar in your healing. I bask
in your love that knew no limits. Once, your love was something I could never
grasp, but now it pulses within each beat of my heart. You are now all which
was once beyond me. Your Easter promise now lives within me.
