“Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.” ― Martin Luther
This quote is one I adore and follows with my personal belief that God can be found in every thing and every day. Every year Spring bursts forth proclaiming, in a bold and vibrant display, that resurrection IS the natural order of things. I wrote a poem a while ago that I feel goes along with this particular quote fairly well:
Summer's heat sets the world on fire
and so the trees, Fall's flames do devour.
Burning bright; yellow, orange, and red,
until the branches, bare, do cower.
Nothing left but Winter's white ash.
But fear not, for the Lord so loved us all,
with Spring comes rescurrection and salvation,
new life for any that heed His call.
So the next time you are outside looking at all the vibrancy of Spring, remember it is nothing compared to the splendor of the Risen Lord.
