Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.

Isaiah 60:1

After a long, dark winter in northern Indiana, the first day of spring is welcomed. Daylight comes earlier and lasts longer. The sunshine warms the days. Crocuses and daffodils begin to break through the frosted ground with an invitation to watch as their blooms burst forth with the colors of spring. Nature is working in harmony to share the coming of spring and new life.

I cherish the coming of spring. The spring sunshine is a dependable and daily reminder of how God warms my heart with His love. His sunlight also shines during my dark times, announcing that He is present. His light becomes my strength, knowing He guides my life with His constant, loving care.

Loving God, thank You for the spring sunshine that warms my heart with Your love. Amen.

Reflect: Sit awhile in the sunshine and feel God’s love warm your heart.
