Even though
winter is now over, the landscape still appears brown and dead. But, if you know where to look, you will see
lovely little daffodils and crocuses in bloom and a few buds on the trees
getting ready to explode into green. I
notice the birds’ songs appear more vocal as the air is warming and their busy activities
give new life to the woods surrounding my home.
I just love
spring, because I like new life. I can’t help but open my eyes with a smile
when a little sparrow friend sits outside my bed room window announcing a brand-new
day. The smell of wet dirt just after a good rain breathes life back into my
tired soul. I am glad we celebrate Easter in the spring. What is
happening in creation here in the north east, reflects what happened during those
days leading up to Easter Sunday. Friday
and Saturday were a winter of despair for the disciples. What could be
worse than the public execution of the One you had given your life to? The
first Easter Sunday, and the resurrection of Christ however, offered a
springtime of hope.
In John
10:10, Jesus says he came so that we might have life and have it more
abundantly. This is possible because our God is a God of grace and his Spirit
gives us true life. Because of His precious gift of salvation offered through His
son Jesus we can make every day like spring and Easter! Let’s celebrate our salvation
by praising God everyday with new songs that tell of His love and new life. Make
it a priority to grow deeper with your Savior as you learn something new about
Him every day! Be an ambassador for
Christ and share the good news daily with others! My prayer for
you is that our Lord will grant you daily wisdom and strength so you may live
each day in a way that would please and glorify Him.
Even more than that, enjoy the life that
Jesus brings with each new day that springs forth!
