A Blessing for the Tired Soul

Feeling a little run-down?

Life been deadening lately?

Take this blessing straight from God:

You’re alive in Christ!

You can know it—

You can feel it—

This resurrection life you share with Jesus.

Hungrily, devour Paul’s proclamation:

“But God, being rich in mercy,

Because of the great love

With which He has loved you,

Even when you were dead in your trespasses,

Made you alive together with Christ.” (Eph. 2:4)

Together with Christ.

His life is your life.

His resurrection is your resurrection.

His energy is your energy.

From spiritual malaise

To spiritual vivacity.

From brutish ignorance

To spiritual sensitivity.

So great is the resurrection life

Of Jesus

In you.

I bless that spiritual life

Deep in your soul.

You have been made alive

Together with Christ.
