As the seasons change and the cold, dark Winter makes room for the warmer and brighter Spring, many colors come out from their hiding places.
We exchange black winter coats for pastel shirts and floral dresses. Dead grass is now green and accompanied by wildflowers and our beloved bluebonnets. We move the fires from our fireplaces inside to campfires and grills in the backyard.
Fitting that we would celebrate Easter during this time. As we see the new life around us, Easter calls us to focus on the new life that is within us. This holiday doesn't just ask us to clean ourselves up and smile big for a new family photo, but to step into the new life that Jesus provides us through His death and resurrection.
It also reminds us that death and darkness will never have the final say. God's Truth has victory over lies. God's Light has victory over darkness. God's Life has victory over death. Whatever lies, darkness, or death you're experiencing now, take heart and join hands with those you love. You are not the exception to God's resurrection power.
Breathe. Be still. Step into the light.
