Spring, A Time of Refreshing and New Beginnings

By Apostle Dr. Joyce Myrick Brown jmwklmbi@gmail.com

When we think about Spring, our minds reflect on seasons past. The seasons of Summer, Fall, and Winter. Each season brought with it, it is own set of memories, some blissful and some, not so. However, as we reflect on the coming of Spring, we think of all of the good and beautiful things that it brings. The warmth of the sun after winter, the smell of fresh fragrance from flowers filling the air, animals reviving out of habitation, birds singing, butterflies flying in their array of beautiful colors, and the opportunity to begin again.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 speaks of seasons, and that God is always in control. Let us remember to be good stewards of His blessings, using our resources wisely and generously, as we align our hearts with His will. Reflecting on a hopeful, blissful, prosperous, bountiful future and sharing. As stated in (2 Corinthians 8:11-14), let us model our willingness of giving and making provision for others, as the Macedonian Church. There is still suffering and those that are in need.

He has promised a Bountiful Future as stated in, Jeremiah 29:10-14 for those who seek Him with all their hearts. His plans for His people are for good and not for harm. As we look forward to the future with hope and expectation, let us trust in God's faithfulness to lead us into a season of abundance and blessings. Remembering, Spring is A Time of Refreshing and New Beginnings!
