spring is all about renewal. rebirth. growth.
what once was alive, then died, is now alive again.
it's funny how nature itself is such a reflection of its creator.
such a reflection of hope.
i fear death too much. our pastor mentioned at today's easter service how 80% of health care insurance is used the last year of a persons life. for me i know what comes is better then what came before, but i think because i have a tendency to invest more in myself and in this world then in my Lord, i am overcome by fear. when you spend so much time and energy trying to hold onto this life, trying to protect your world, keeping it in your control, you end up with instability.
i don't want to live in fear. i don't want to hold onto this life. i want to invest in Him. i want to live transformed, knowing because of His life, i can take dominion over my sin. through Him we can conquer sin.
spring is such a beautiful reminder of all these things.
and Easter is the beautiful reminder of how God came as a man, and conquered even death.
He is Risen, indeed.
