Spring is Here

This is a wonderful time of the year! The weather is great, the flowers are blooming, and the birds are singing. You may think that Texas is a brown, barren place, and while I'm sure there are some areas like that, Dallas is actually pretty green. The trees are leafing (yes that is a real word) and the flowers are blooming! Here is some of the beauty I saw this week:

The Spring season reminds me of this scripture: "And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me" (Moses 6:63, emphasis added).

If all things bear record of God, then how might the Spring season bear record of Him? It is at this time of the year that nature comes to life. What once was dead springs forth new, fresh, and beautiful. Also at this same time of year, nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ rose from the dead, with an immortal and glorious body. On this Easter day, may our belief in Christ allow us to see the beauty in the world. Because He lives, we can find renewed purpose and perspective.

I hope you enjoy this special Easter message #BecauseHeLives.
