This is exciting to some people...I'm more of a winter kind of girl myself. Spring just tells me that Summer is on the way. Summertime means you have to start bearing a little more skin and the less of me you can see, the better off you'll be. Trust me.
I am trying to look for the good though in every day life. I am trying to see the good that God has for me as I enter a new season.
Spring is a reminder though of new life. New beginnings.
There is a line in my favorite movie, Anne of Green Gables, that said "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes."
We are entering into a new season. We have the ability to enter with no mistakes....yet. It's up to us to keep it fresh and full of life.
Wednesday afternoon when I stepped outside the back door at church I saw a beautiful dogwood tree blooming at the edge of the cemetery. How ironic that something so beautiful and full of life could be blooming at the edge of a place full of death.
Dogwoods always remind me of Christ's love and His death. I know Easter is approaching when I see dogwoods blooming. Just like the dogwood at the edge of the cememtery, Easter is a picture of life at the edge of death.
Christ gave His life for us and was assumed dead and was buried. After 3 days, he arose! At the edge of death, in a place of depression.... He lived! When all hope was lost, he lived!
I'm so grateful that at a place in my life full of depression, no hope and death, I found life in Christ.
If you are at that place today and living on the edge of death, entering a place of no hope, I encourage you to look for life. Life found in Christ.
If you have already found that life but are living a way that is not full of life that glorifies Him, use this time to begin a new season of your life with Him. Start today living a life that is beautiful to God and that glorifies Him!
