Happy Spring!


A neighborhood iris from long ago.
For Scripture Prayer today I used Romans 5:1-8.  The human race is at peace with God because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  This is pure gift (grace.) We have done nothing to deserve it.
While we were still in sin Jesus died for us.  He always takes the initiative.
Paul assures us, "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us."  The verb "poured" made me think of the gushing spring within us that Jesus talks about with the woman at the well.  We celebrate free and abundant new life on this first day of Spring!
