MANNA MOMENT
This year spring arrived in a somewhat unusual fashion. Wild swings in temperature and drought conditions are not what we are used to in these beautiful mountains. However, despite the obstacles of drought and heat, the world once again awakened. Buds burst open, flowers bloom, and what once appeared lifeless is filled with color and vitality again. It is not hard to see that spring is more than a change in weather; it is a living reminder of spiritual rebirth.
In the Christian life, rebirth is not a one-time event but an ongoing invitation. Just as the earth is renewed each spring, our souls are continually called back to life in God. We are invited to release what has grown cold or hardened within us – old wounds, lingering doubts, patterns that no longer bring life – and to open ourselves again to the grace of a loving Father. Renewal begins in small ways; a softened heart, a renewed prayer life, a willingness to forgive, a quiet “yes” to God’s leading.
Spring also reminds us that transformation often happens beneath the surface before it becomes visible to those around us. Seeds planted deep in the soil have something amazing unfolding in the dark. In the same way, God is always at work within us, even when we cannot yet see the fruit. Seasons of waiting, of stillness, even of struggle, can be the very ground where new life begins.
Spiritual rebirth assures us that new life is always possible. Even in the days of darkness, hope is never lost. God is continually at work, restoring, renewing and reawakening. This spring, let us not simply observe renewal in nature. Let us live it.
