The Grave is Empty

She went to rest on March 21st. The ripples are everywhere as the buzz of blogposts and memories are shared through the Internet waves. I did not know her as well as I would have liked to. Yet every memory I have of her is run together with joy and peace and the rest of one who knew what it was to rest herself in the hands and heart of the Almighty.

Oh to know that type of peace. It was not the peace only to be found on a sunny day with the flowers blooming. It was the peace before the storm, the peace in the middle of the storm and the peace that could not be touched by the storm. Her God, her Comforter was bigger.

Her one desire was to be used for her wonderful loving Father in life or in death.

Death's cold tomb may hold her body.

But the chains are broken. She will rise, for our Lord's tomb is empty.

There is a longing that is stirring. Do you feel it, this hunger for something, a dissatisfaction with what is and an ache for something deeper? Within the very core of our DNA, written into the pattern of our atoms, is this ache for what we were made for. It is a memory of something that is currently invisible and yet more real than all else. It is not really "what" we were made for, rather it is "Who" we were made for.

It is this memory that we are chasing. May this little space encourage us all to crave after the reality of Eden which we have lost and look with anticipation to the joyful day of restored relationship and the renewal of Eden promised us.
