Spring

Spring is my favorite season...it's such a great time and I have so many thoughts running through my head...so I had to sort them and start writing.

Spring is the most wonderful season. It has so many meanings and so many feelings are coming up in me...oh, and the smell of it, is just indescribable. I would sing and tell God these words out of my heart's depth like David: 

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; 

You are clothed with splendor and majesty,  

Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak,  

Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.  

He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;  

He makes the clouds His chariot; 

 He walks upon the wings of the wind;  

He makes the winds His messengers,  

Flaming fire His ministers.  

He established the earth upon its foundations,  

So that it will not totter forever and ever.  

You covered it with the deep as with a garment;  

The waters were standing above the mountains.  

 At Your rebuke they fled,  

At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.  

The mountains rose; the valleys sank down  To the place which You established for them.  

You set a boundary that they may not pass over, 

So that they will not return to cover the earth.  

He sends forth springs in the valleys;  

They flow between the mountains;  

They give drink to every beast of the field; 

 The wild donkeys quench their thirst.  

 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;  

They lift up their voices among, the branches.  

 He waters the mountains from His upper chambers;  

The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.  

 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,  

And vegetation for the labor of man,  

So that he may bring forth food from the earth,  

 And wine which makes man's heart glad,  

So that he may make his face glisten with oil,  

And food which sustains man's heart.  

 The trees of the LORD drink their fill,  

The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,  

Where, the birds build their nests,  

And the stork, whose home is the fir trees.  

The high mountains are for the wild goats;  

The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.  

 He made the moon for the seasons;  

The sun knows the place of its setting. 

Psalms 104:1-19 

What does the word "spring" mean?

Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth.  

Outside the lovely smell takes you up and lifts you up, the bright colors delight the eye, the perfect harmony of nature, which woke up after a cold winter sleep. Everything looks like spring arrived with its glamour and charm. It's a rebirth. Spring is a season expected by many, which makes sad eyes look from the ground to the great creation of God. It fills your heart with thankfulness, praise and worship toward the One who holds everything in His hands. God created spring for us, my dear reader, it's a declaration of love from the Creator, who wants to tell you how much He loves you. He wants to speak to your heart through this season, showing you He can start everything all over again, even in your life.

Maybe you went through a cold season, may have been in search of sunshine to warm you up, to lighten up your face and to make you smile, but everything around you was gray and cold. God created spring for you, to revive you and to show you His glory. He wants you to have a spring in your heart and He wants to remove the cold and gray season and replace it with a joyful season, with a new start where the warmth of His love is near. He will turn every aspect of your life. Don't look at what was behind, look ahead of you. Let God wipe every tear from your eyes and let Him heal your wounds caused by others or yourself. Dare to fall into His arms. Let Him overwhelm you with His presence! Let God bring a new season of rebirth, revival and renewal into your life, in other words SPRING!

This is not all I have in mind about spring, but the essential ideas. Enjoy spring and God's presence in the next days...walk in love knowing who your Daddy is and what He did for you.

"See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come." -Song of Songs 2: 11-12
