The Miracle of Spring

A feeling of newness filled the neighborhood in the early morning hours. I opened the curtains to discover baby green leaves on the maple trees. On the other side of town, trees covered in purple greeted those who passed by. Yesterday’s warm temperatures, along with the overnight showers, awakened dormant branches to release their hidden life -- giving us a sign of hope that comes from the joy of seeing new growth. 

All this refreshing that comes with spring blossoms and tiny leaves, reminded me that God’s mercies are new every morning -- that we are new creations in Christ Jesus who flourish in the warmth of HIS mighty love and come alive in the shower of HIS blessings. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the miracle of spring. This season has been long in coming this year. But now that it’s here, it is glorious!
