Resurrection Day.............One day or for life?

Well Easter/Resurrection Day has past, but is it really?
To me it was like a seed planted afresh, which will sprout up, and the beauty of its blooms will continually bless thru out the year.
This is a reminder that we belong to someone greater than our earthly forms, that both the physical and spiritual has hope "because He lives".
We are the "sheep of His pasture, He is the "Good Sheppard", we know His voice and we are known by Him".
He cares enough about us to "know the very hairs of our head" yet He "stands at the right hand of His Father in Heaven" and "makes intersession for us".
We are eternally blessed to be "His people and called by His name."
Every day that we live we can rejoice in "Christ our Savior" because "each day is a new day, a new day in the Lord."
I lay hold to the "mercy's that are new every morning", and "grace convenient for today" for "He is faithful to deliver, and will."
Life without Him is hopeless regardless of success or failures, but life "in Him" is full of hope that gives purpose and direction as "He leadeth me" and "directs my paths."
With every "Resurrection Day" that I experience in my life I know that I am drawing neigh to the "Eternal Resurrection" that awaits for all who are "called by His name."
For those who "look for His coming" the promise is secure, as are all the promises that are in Him. Promises that "follow" those who believe as signs and wonders, and those promises that "will be made manifest" on the other side when we arrive.
He fills the long life with blessing, and He redeems the short life with the sweetness of His presence early on.
"In Him" life is best, without Him life is difficult at best.
His presence in our lives brings with it bountiful riches regardless of our "state." Blessings and Love is our surety, and "newness of life" is what we experience daily as we "abide" in Him.
His Resurrection is proven in us every day that we "arise" with praise, and our hearts full of thanksgiving. As our feet hit the floor we "will go out with joy and are lead forth with peace."
When we enter into His rest at night our "sleep will be sweet", and "He will keep us".
I count that there is no greater joy in life than being "found in Him", and "growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ."
The Resurrection has not "just passed" but lives on in us daily as we abide in Him.
Love
In Christ
