Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.
John 20:1 NLT
I wonder what prompted Mary that Sunday morning, while it was still dark, to go to the tomb?
What did she expect to find there? In the dark?
Maybe she couldn't sleep, maybe something was stirring in her spirit to go and seek Jesus, that something was going on, that something Jesus said stuck with her and in the dark, in the early morning, she went to find Jesus.
And Mary got to see that everything had changed, the stone had been rolled away. 
Don't wait for the daylight to go and look for Jesus, don't wait until you've got yourself sorted, come as you are. 
And just like Mary, we'll see that the stone has moved, death is no longer in charge, Life has broken out.
Resurrection.
Sometime in the night, Jesus came back, was brought back, from death, to life. 
And everything has changed.
Resurrection.
And this is the hope that we now hold, the living hope that is Jesus, that even though we will experience death, the stone has been rolled away, and on the other side of death is Life. 
Sometime in the night Life broke through and everything changed. 
The stone's been rolled away and as the dawn breaks we get to live on the Light.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
