Easter Reflections

‘Over estimation of faith’…Lord, it is not that I will or cannot follow you, but sometimes I overestimate my faith. 

When I think of You dying for me, no, choosing to die for me, and I have to think of that personally, (I am not being egotistical but rather that is who You are, relational, that is what sets You apart from others: the personal relationship of You and me!), I think, why?

You know of the many times I have doubted You. You know the secrets of my soul that no one knows, You know of the times in the future, (as well from the past and in the present), when I will fail you. Yet You decided that Vidya is worth it, and with each step up that hill carrying the Cross, carrying my sins, You never faltered. 

You knew your mission: to die for my sins so that I can have life in You.

You decided to die for the undeserving, me.

But the best news followed: RESURRECTION!

I am thinking of the Aretha Franklin song RESPECT, and trying to sing the letters to resurrection, but it is too long.

You are not dead. 

You are not a wooden statue, or made of clay.

You are alive. 

Your breath flows in and through me. 

Your spirit flows over me: little Trini-Canadian me!

Now you have to respect that (and yes, I can sing the song now), and be totally humbled and overwhelmed by that FACT: not fiction but truth.

I am undeniably Yours.

In a world where it is politically incorrect to say that we believe in Jesus Christ, I can say that I am so blessed to have the TRINITY around me: God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit surround me: yes, little Trini-Canadian me!

And that makes me dance…

So in Honour of Jesus Christ, yes, I say His Name out loud, I dance!

In the Name of the Father, In the Name of the Son and in the Name of the Holy Spirit,

Love, Sister Vidya
