In Christ Alone!

Hello Everyone,

As the first day of spring blows in, I find myself extremely excited. To me, spring means warmth, sunshine, flowers, green grass, blue skies, green leaves, and of course, MY BIRTHDAY!!!  (It is just around the corner. About a week and two days I think, 29th in case you're wondering.)

I love spring. It has always been my favorite season. Just saying it makes me smile. Spring. Ahh!

The word spring has different meanings. Such as: 1 to move suddenly and rapidly; leap; bound; to rise suddenly and quickly from a position; bounce; 2 to grow or develop; to come into existence, usually quickly; to begin to appear, as day; dawn; 3 to become warped, bent, split, loose, ect. [the door has sprung] 4 to rise up above surrounding objects; tower; 5 to bear the cost for someone else; . . . and so on! (info taken from - Webster's New World Dictionary)

Think about the word spring for a moment. It's all about suddenly, quickly, rapidly. It's all about moving from point A to point B. It's all about improvement, growing. Even when it talks about being warped, bent, and split ... warp yourself from bad habits, bend yourself away from wrong choices, split away from unhealthy situations. Rise above the the surrounding heartaches, headaches, problems, bad influences and become the tower of Light that Jesus wants. And lastly... to bear the cost for someone else, as Jesus Christ our personal Lord and Savior did for us.

Quickly, without wasting time, leap, grow, rise up and be who Christ has commanded you to be. Today is a new day! Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Today is the first day of SPRING! Take action now. Is there something you have wanted to do, or needed to do, but you keep putting it off? Now is the time to spring into action. (I'm preaching to myself on that one.)

So with that, get off the computer, (after you leave me a comment ) and be what spring is all about. Ultimately, Mark 12:30-31 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."

God Bless and have a wonderful Springy day!
