Dear God,

Trees are beginning to bud, flower stems are rising from the dark soil and the birds are singing.  Soon it will be spring.  The extraordinary beauty of winter will give way to the newness of life in springtime.  What is not to love about the season change?

Although we can take everything at face value, we can also use this seasonal change to challenge us to spiritual and emotional change.  What is it you wish to change in me, O Lord, we might ask.  There seems to always be something that desires to be birthed within us.  Sometimes it involves our own resurrection.  Who would not want that?

Holy God,

transform me

into what

you desire

for me.

I wish

to change,

to grow,

to be transformed.

Let me

come into spring

like the flowers

and trees 

and birds,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
