A week ago, I lost the little baby that was starting to form inside me. I cried. I mourned for the tiny life that it had become and the little sister or brother that it would have been for Daphne. My belly was growing and so were my hopes. But God is full of grace and mercy.
This Easter, I am reminded by my own loss how great a sacrifice God made for mankind. He had a child, Jesus Christ. And he knowingly sent him to be born, live a short life, and die a painful death for men (such as myself) that are full of sin and rebellion against him. No matter how "good" we try to be, we can never live up to the standards of a perfectly pure and righteous God.... Not without the life sacrifice of another holy and perfect one- Jesus Christ. Through his sacrifice, we can have eternal life.
My loss was hard, but I am refreshed by the reminder of the incredible grace that has been shown to me. And this Easter, I will celebrate Jesus Christ and his death and resurrection.
Happy Easter,
Elaine
