Don't you ever feel like you've been destined for something bigger than your skin?

Listened to Forgive Durden's album "Razia's Shadow: A Musical" and was reminded of all the things—well the only things—that truly make sense.

Because an idea is only relevant if it's being thought upon.
So remember, never surrender. 
Because the unrelenting constancy of love and hope 
Will rescue and restore from any scope.

Love. Great, big, bigger-than-our-skin, bigger-than-the-moon love.

Tomorrow one of my best friends is giving her life to Jesus. Tomorrow is the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. Tomorrow we celebrate the Greatest Love ever known.

The story of the Resurrection is so bizarre and crazy and incredible, that I can't believe I heard it growing up and still didn't understand that I was loved. We are loved. We have an all-powerful and all-personal Savior who loved us enough to take on our darkness, our ugliness, our guilt, our pain, our broken, broken selves, so we could be truly, truly free.

That's insane. So insane, it has to be true. Because let's be real, the story of Jesus being tortured and encountering the highest form of suffering for us puny little humans just doesn't make a very good fairytale.

Jesus = winning.

Happy Easter.
