Are You Turning Green?

What a beautiful day the Lord gave us today! I was on the motorcycle quite a bit today. Just couldn't resist. Not to mention, the Lord speaks to me a lot while I am cruisin' around on the scooter.

As a matter of fact, the Lord showed something to me today. I turned my head and told Sheila, "look, you can see just a hint of green on the trees, especially those in the distance."

That hint of green is a sign of life! In the scriptures, the color green is interpreted as new life. There is nothing like the signs of new life we see come forth during the first part of spring. Like I said in my last post, spring is here!!

The hint of green tells us many things, the harshness of winter is over, the cold is gone, the cruel north wind is changed. Instead of the bitternes and death of the winter season, we are now seeing the new life of the spring season! We love the spring because we love the new life it represents.

The same with our life in the spirit. We love the new life it represents. There is nothing like the excitement of the new life we have in Christ. Even if it has been many years, there is, and should be, a freshness, and newness to this life. Even daily! The grass is coming forth. The ground is turning green from the dingy brown color it was! The trees are greening out! The flowers are blooming! It is an exciting time in the natural, as well as the spritual!

We flock around new born babies. They bring such an excitment to our lives. It's something new! We admire the beauty of the spring flowers as they grow and color this wonderful world GOD has given us to live in. It's new!

This is the time of Easter where we celebrate the ressurection of Jesus Christ. It is something new! The new life HE gave us is fresh, new, exciting, green (and not in a ecological way either!) HE IS RISEN!!! And because HE is risen, we have life! Our life is green because it is new life!

It is the time of year when many new things come forth in the earth. In the realm of the spirit, the same can be said, many new things coming forth. Look for some new things to come forth in your life this spring, or, Easter season. Look with a watchful eye, it might be small and you might miss it, so keep an eye out for it. Look for things that have seemed dead to be resurrected at this time. It is resurrection time! Do not lose heart, for the life giving Spirit of Jesus Christ is ready to bring some new life to you!

Look for it! New life is coming! Do you see it? Do you feel it? Are you turning green?
