The other day I was visiting with a colleague and friend discussing the resurrection. We had just completed a walk and we were sitting outside. As I looked around me, I was overcome with the awareness that things we coming to life… the trees were budding, plants were emerging from the soil, shrubs that looked dead to me had signs of growth sprouting forth from wooden branches. There were and are signs of life all around me. There are signs of life all around us!
As it says in the Bible,
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
—Isaiah 43:19 (NRSV)
God is actively at work, loving, forgiving and making all things new! God is busy bringing resurrection into the dead zones of our hearts and lives. May you welcome God to bring forth life in you! May you become ever-more aware of God making all things new!
You are beloved of God!
