Jesus said in John 14:6 - "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me."
After the season of winter, spring is impatiently awaited. The bare earth slowly gives way, releasing the life that laid buried within. We greet it with delight as the grass starts to green up and the branches of the trees start to show the hue of the coming of leaves. Daffodils wave their yellow heads and we smile with the joy they bring as they grace the brown ground with colour.
Life speaks hope and hope stirs life. The spring growth breathes hope and life and energy into our souls.
Jesus wants to breathe life into our broken and bare parts. When we choose Jesus we choose life. As we walk through pain, rejection, disappointments, and so on, Jesus wants us to know Him. He knows that when we choose Him, we learn of Him and life takes root in our heart and mind.
When we're blindsided by a storm of pain we are in a winter where the harsh winds blow. We see nothing of life and can feel quite bare. But when we put our roots down a little bit further, anchoring our hearts in the truths of God - the seeds of life start their roots. One day, a coming spring day, they slowly push through the bare and brown surface and we start to see the life that was all the while within.
When we choose the Way and stay with the Way, we learn to know Him as Truth and Life will always take root and bloom.
