new creation
springtime is here (at least, according to the calendar), and soon we will all be experiencing a new creation: animals returning from their winter homes (or sleep), trees sprouting new leaves, the icy cold of the winter melting away.
usually around this time we are thinking about new beginnings as well: spring cleaning, baseball season, new clothes. even spiritually we find new beginnings and new creations within us.
"What we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it!" (2 Cor 5:17 MSG)
"to burgeon", by the way, is a verb meaning "to put forth new buds, leaves, or greenery; sprout. to begin to grow or blossom. to grow or develop rapidly." (according to the american heritage dictionary.) may your faith begin to blossom this spring. amen.
