The Resurrected Life

May 18, 2010 by desiringvirtue

“For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.” ~Romans 6:5-11

Last week was hard.

Pregnancy was weighing.

Elliot was crying.

I was tired.

Elliot was teething.

I was frustrated.

Elliot was screaming.

I cried.

Then I read this post and was reminded of my Savior.

I was reminded of Romans 6:5-11 and Colossians 3:1-4.

“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” ~Colossians 3:1-4

The Holy Spirit made my spirit rejoice when I didn’t want to.

My heart found its footing at the side of my resurrected King.

My God reminded me of my resurrection.

And that was more than enough.
