What do we like about springtime?
Flowers? Sure, that’s special. The colors, the aroma, the general splendor of the renewed greenery.
Oh, and warmer weather. Did you forget that? After enduring winter’s chill, just to be outside without our coat!
Then there’s friends, days at the lake, and picnics. Oh, how we anticipate a picnic in the park!
There’s one more thing, something that all of these depend on. LIGHT!
You know what I’m talking about, light from the sun. It washes away the night, and it gives us hours and hours of time that we didn’t have during winter.
Cecilia Blomdahl is a YouTube vlogger from Svalbard, Norway. She posts her life without the sun for FOUR MONTHS at a time! It’s as if the light has forgotten her isolated island for months on end, and darkness has become the ruler of the land. She says it’s beautiful during the long months of darkness, but she also reveals how it wears at her emotionally.
For the Christian, THAT NEVER HAPPENS WITH GOD! Read in 1 John 1:5:
“God is light; in him is no darkness as all.”
No waiting for spring. No promising ourselves that the good times will return.
With God, it’s friends, days at the lake, and picnics every day!
We have all the light we want when we have God at our side. He is the brilliance of the morning sun, and his love lights every step of our path toward him.
