We are no longer dead to sin, but live alive with Jesus, forever!<\/p>\n<p>So as we enter into this time of Lent and Easter, may we remember the sacrifice that He made with His life and that even though He knew this would happen, He still gave thanks to God. \u00a0Thanksgiving always precedes the miracle and isn&#8217;t His resurrection the biggest miracle of all? \u00a0He loves you with an everlasting love&#8212;a forever love. \u00a0As you listen and meditate on these words today, let His love flow all over you and and let it flow through you. \u00a0<em>For you are bought with the highest price of all&#8212;<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Jesus Christ<\/strong><\/span>!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u00a0<strong>* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Let us pray<\/span><\/strong>: Dearest Heavenly Father, thank You so much for the sacrifice of Your only Son. \u00a0Thank You for tearing the veil and allowing us to come straight to You. \u00a0You saved us from our sins and sometimes we take this for granted. \u00a0Help us to never forget and to follow Jesus&#8217;s example of giving thanks even in the hardest of times. \u00a0And for those who don&#8217;t know You, help us to be the witnesses we need to be and spread Your love that You so freely give. \u00a0We love You and we praise You. \u00a0In Jesus name, amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ \u00a0Listen while you read, please! \u00a0~ The moon and stars they wept The morning sun was dead The Savior of the world was fallen His body on the cross His blood poured out for us The weight of every curse was broken One final breath He gave As Heaven looked away The Son of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":16629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4937],"tags":[2114,5742,1287,425,5745,5744,2139,4932,3090,5743],"class_list":["post-18355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psalms-hymns-and-spiritual-songs","tag-easter","tag-forever-kari-jobe","tag-gch","tag-girlfriends-coffee-hour","tag-give-thanks","tag-god-the-father","tag-lent","tag-psalms-hymns-spiritual-songs","tag-resurrection","tag-rose-from-the-dead","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p39pHp-4M3","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18355"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18381,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18355\/revisions\/18381"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
