The season of spring portrays a glorious shift from despair to hope, as it captivates us with a visual symphony of praise. More than a pleasing shift from the stark panoramas of winter, spring’s vibrant beauty ushers in hope for the hard realities of our winter spiritual seasons.

Spring illustrates the victory of the resurrection like no other season, enveloping the darkness of our hard paths in the glorious Light of God’s Love and Presence. Revealing the truth of John 1:5:

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

But even more than the victory of God’s Light over darkness, meditating on the resurrection of Jesus Christ unleashes hope for the dead places of our lives. Relationships, dreams, and everything which was once vibrant but now seems lifeless, in God’s hands finds redemption.
