Springing Forward

I don’t know about you, but the time change throws me for a loop. No matter how much I prepare, I end up disoriented and discombobulated. I am okay in the Fall, but in the Spring it always takes my body and my mind a few weeks to adjust. Even so, I look forward to Springing Forward. For as much as the time change requires an adjustment, it serves as a reminder of the transformative power of God:

From gray bareness to verdant blossoms;

From Winter to Spring;

From death to new life;

From sin to righteousness;

From sickness to healing;

From bondage to liberty;

From fear to faith;

From self to the Savior;

From carnal to Spiritual;

From tradition to intimacy and;

From Ash Wednesday to Resurrection Sunday;

As noted above in the transformation from Ash Wednesday to the Resurrection, the time change also signals the nearness of Holy Week and the immense love that God demonstrated to humanity through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. It signals that, when you put your absolute trust In Jesus, that death does not have the final say and that as Christians, we are a people of LIFE and life abundant. 

Growing in Christ,
