These are the words of the angel of the Lord to Mary Magdalene and the other faithful women who followed Jesus even to the borrowed tomb where they laid him after His crucifixion. Such words of hope that penetrated their mind and their hearts where once there was despair...The Resurrection is indeed the cornerstone of the Christian Faith- all denominations included. Without this central even in Christ's life, our faith and actions because of this faith is useless. For me, there is no hope in following HIS Words if the promise of rising with HIM to Eternal life..."where He will wipe every tear...death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning or crying or pain....".
For all who believe in Christ, this is a life line that we all hold on to, as we go through the daily grind of ups and downs.
As for me, I do continue to hope for a better future for me and mine. Despite me living on a day to day basis not knowing what the future bring, I am grateful for the blessing I have.... A solid family where I can always rely on for support, encouragement and love... true friends whom I don't need to pretend what I am not. One questions that I often ask time and time again, will I truly be happy and content? Unfortunately this question may remain unanswered in my lifetime.
I do feel some void within my being that needs to be filled, but I am filled with hope that He will always be beside me to be with me, despite the despair and sorrow that I often feel during by depression bouts. Quoting some lines of the song "The Journey" by Lea Salonga..."What a journey it has been and the end is not in sight, but the stars are out tonight and they're out to guide my way.... I can see a better day...I won't let the darkness in, what a journey it has been."
