With the trees and flowers blooming, sunny days, blue skies and breezy nights, springtime has arrived. Spring is an exciting time for people to seek a fresh start to a new season. Many of us should take this as an opportunity for a new start in our spiritual walk. I look at springtime as an occasion to clean and declutter my physical space, but I also love this season because it offers a chance to do a little spring cleaning in my soul and wash away hurts and disappointments to make a new space for growth to happen.
As Easter is approaching, this is a perfect time for spiritual spring cleaning in our hearts and minds. Maybe it’s time to clear the clutter of unmet expectations. Dust away old resentments and scrub your heart clean by forgiving past hurts. Let’s invite God to show us what needs to get cleaned up in our lives in order to be more joyful and content.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17. Happy Spring!
