Spring Christians

I am hot-natured. You know this if you've been around me for any period of time. Therefore I love spring - 65 to 70 degrees - it is near perfect weather for me. Apart from the weather I also think that spring days are more beautiful than any other time of the year. The beauty and great weather cause me to want to be lazy and lay around outside all day, however as this usually occurs simultaneously with the grunt-work portion of school, this has got me in trouble more then once.

Spring is beautiful. I can't figure out if the skies actually come bluer, or if the new growth of the green grass and green trees just cause the skies to seem more vivid. Regardless this combination of beauty with the newfound warmth of the sun (not to hot though), causes me to love Spring.

We should be Spring Christians. Now I know I've lost you, so allow me to explain. New growth, and warmth is attractive to people - people want to be stick around and be in its presence. If you are not growing as a Christian with your walk in the faith then you are dying or dead - If your spirit is not warm - then it is cold. People do not want to be around a dying cold person - they however are attracted and even magnetized to a person is is growing and warm.

Lets not be cold people anymore. I am convicted of this everyday - we should be the pursuers of people, wanting to spill the good news all over them, however many times we hoard the good news as if its a cup of 4 dollar coffee which we don't want anyone to spoil.

Lets be Spring Christians.
