Dina Deleasa Instagram – Good Friday is generally a somber time, as it should be. As we all observe and remember the ultimate sacrifice, So why am I feeling so much joy today? I realize it is because I am looking at Good Friday through a different lens. I see his journey to the cross as the ultimate demonstration in faith. The promise that even in death there will be life. He conquered the grave. I repeat that to myself now, as I walk my own valleys. He conquered the grave and he thought of me as he did it. I have that hope and promise to hold onto. It may be dark for a moment, it may be quiet and ominous, but there will always be light. I keep repeating myself when I point out, will it come in the way I expect, no. But that doesn’t mean Sunday isn’t coming.
He made the journey to the cross knowing what was ahead. He knew the plan, he trusted in it, he did not deviate from it. He kept pressing on through the ridicule, through the beatings, the spit, and the thorn of crowns. Then when they thought he was finished, he rolled that stone away. So that when I think I am finished, I can reach out my hand, and he will push that stone away with me.
Siena had been asking a lot of questions about all the ins and outs of Easter. We wanted her to understand that although life is hard, things happen, all is never lost because of what Jesus did. She brought up my “surgeries,” she doesn’t fully understand the word “cancer.” I looked at her to say, no matter what Jesus was and is taking care of mommy. And he takes care of you and Daddy. As usual, what a comfort to know he begins where I end. I can count on his promise, that he never leaves or forsakes us. No matter what Satan will put in my path, he will never truly be victorious. That is what I now feel on Good Friday. I do not need to wait until Sunday, I will rejoice in the darkness.
