Spring, All Things New
Springtime reminds us that after dull gray winters, a season of renewal and hope springs forth. This season can be a time to focus on spiritual renewal and growth. Some Bible verses: New Beginnings: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" – 2 Corinthians 5:17. Seasons of Growth: "For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come..." – Song of Solomon 2:11-12. Renewal of Strength: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak... those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." – Isaiah 40:29-31

See the Beauty in the World God has created.
Love and Light.
Seek Truth.
Today is the day the Lord has made.
God has the answer to all your questions and all your problems. He created you and has the perfect plan for your life. Nobody knows you better than the Creator of the universe. You can turn to Him in prayer anytime, bringing your burdens and placing them in His care. Then let go and trust. He will work things out in His perfect timing. Things may not go as you expect nor in the time frame you desire. But remember Romans 8:28: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Meanwhile, obedience to His commands keeps you aligned and going in the right direction.
