After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened. ~ Mark 16:9-10 (NLT)
Lord, you turn mourning into celebration. Remind me of this when I'm feeling sad because of all the pain and loss I've recently experienced. Death is not the final word in this world. Grief is only temporary. You are the resurrected Savior. Glory to you! Amen.
