Called to Priesthood

As the flowers starts to bloom, trees regain their leaves, animals comes out of their hibernation, the birds fill the air with cheerful songs and the weather becomes warmer with occasional rain to nourish the earth. Spring is often associated with new beginnings, renewed hope, and the beauty of nature coming back to life after the cold, dormant months of winter.

 I am reminded of God’s constant faithfulness to all of creation—God is always making all things new.

Spring is a reminder that no matter how cold and harsh the winter, new life would always follow. I have a tree I see from my backyard, in winter it’s bare and there’s no single leave on it, as spring emerges—the leaves also emerge. I love the changing season—imagine if the weather was the same all the time, what’s the fun in that? Variety is the spice of life—God is indeed the best artist.

Spring also brings Easter, the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. His victory over death is the greatest example of renewal. Just as the earth bursts into life after winter, Jesus rose from the grave, bringing eternal hope to all who believe.

“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The resurrection is a powerful reminder that no situation is too hopeless for God to restore. If He can bring life from death, He can bring healing, joy, and transformation into our lives.

Some people take part in ‘Spring cleaning’ whereby they declutter and clean their homes to make space for the freshness that comes with spring. While this is good—it’s also important to take part in ‘Spiritual cleansing’ decluttering our spiritual life of every lie of the devil, repenting from our sins and drawing closer to God to purify our hearts and souls.

Just as we remove clutter from our homes, we should remove anything that hinders our relationship with Christ—doubt, fear, distractions, and anything that weighs us down.

The beauty of spring is a reflection of God’s handiwork. Every blooming flower, every chirping bird, and every fresh breeze points to His glory. It is of great importance to take time to appreciate nature which deepens our gratitude and reminds us of God’s presence in all things.

Let spring be more than just a change in seasons. Let it be a reminder of God’s love, faithfulness, and the new beginnings He offers us every day. No matter what season you’ve been in, He is always ready to bring renewal to your heart and life.
