It is Finished!

In a few days it will be Good Friday.  In the scripture Jesus' final words were "It is finished", and then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.  Jesus raised himself up to God.  He released his spirit from his human body;  he crossed out of bondage of human limitations.

Good Friday is the 39th day of Lent, which began on Ash Wednesday.  During the Lenten Season we have practiced the presence of God through prayer and meditation.  We have read books containing spiritual thoughts, such as the Bible or Daily Word.

We have done some self-evaluation and made a decision to release one or some things that we feel would make our lives better; that would help us on our spiritual paths.

We have used denials and affirmations to help synchronize our consciousness with God.  To help us get in tune with the divine.

We may have gone through some trials and tribulations; concerns and doubts as Jesus did in Gethsemane.
We may have even felt a sense of loss or grief because the things that we are letting go (habits, emotions, unforgiveness or people) have been with us for a long time. 

And then we come to Good Friday AND it is the day WE say "It is Finished!"  Our hard work is done.  We released and let go, and we are not looking back.  We have crossed out of bondage.

As we let go this Friday, we resurrect to a new life.

Let  us all rise as Jesus did into a new way of being.

Happy Easter!
