Spring in My Step

Every year the sight of flowers blossoming, lambs skipping in the fields, and the brighter evenings have a major role in motivating me, Lets be honest some days its hard to get motivated, maybe it could be feeling under the weather, or having pressures at home or work etc, we all can be in this boat at times, but I have always found come spring life gets a little easier and more exciting!

This experience can be paralleled with new seasons in the spiritual, God is constantly drawing closer to us, as He comes closer to us,(Or as we draw closer to God) His light exposes things that need to change, things we need to learn, areas were we are weak and need to find strength, As these seasons come and go I find the intensity of the Call to submit more to God just keeps getting harder, the bar is always rising way beyond were I feel in myself I can reach (although that can only mean I know I need a supernatural intervention from God to help me).

We all strive to depend more on God, to Surrender more time, energy or enthusiasm to Him, to grow deeper and stronger, but its so easy to get to a place with God were its comfortable and can nearly be done in a strange robotic mode, but then a new season launches and the comforts are exposed and stripped away and your left feeling raw, naked and in a strange way empty (probably because you’ve got out of touch with God).

Wherever you are in God at present, I encourage you to ‘pursue God’, A recent film ‘Pursuit of Happiness‘ left me in tears as I realised that there are probably more in the world pursuing happiness in this life and forgetting about an eternal happiness that could be theirs if they invited God into their life and all their life involves.

This Spring let God have His Free Reign in your life and I can Guarantee happiness will be yours! Let God put a Spring in Your Step!
