April 15, 2019 www.PositiveChristianity.org presents Positive Daily Inspiration SPRING FORWARD INTO NEW LIFE April 15, 2019 www.PositiveChristianity.org for the 20th year presents Positive Daily Inspiration Spring Forward into New Life “Thus, it is written, the first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” 1 Corinthians 15:45 "April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go." Christopher Morley I am always excited when Spring comes; I feel it is God’s way of celebrating life. In Texas, from where I write a lot of the Positive Daily Inspirations, wildflowers are coming up everywhere. One of my favorite things to do is to ride my motorcycle into the countryside to see the bluebonnets blooming. I realize that some of the country is still cold, but that will be short-lived – for Spring has arrived. Spring is a special occasion; it is a time to celebrate new life and new hope. You celebrate life as you recognize that Christ-life enlivens you and others. Like Adam, you go beyond just being a living being to a life-giving spirit. This Spring, you graduate from just existing to existing for purpose—to make the world a better place because you are here. As the flowers bloom, let each one be a reminder to you, to bloom and shine forth new God-given life. You revel in knowing that you are filled with God’s ever-new life and you give expression to it by becoming a life-giving spirit. This Spring, you decide to be a person that gives back. You make people feel more alive when they are around you. One day, I overheard someone in a restaurant say of another, “That person just sucks the life out of me!” You choose not to be a vacuum in life, but instead a life-giver. You make other people feel good when they are around you. You choose to be a giver instead of a taker, and in so doing, you become a spiritual person. Flowers when they bloom, give their all, all we can do is stop and admire. You celebrate the Christ life as you give yourself to others. "Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer." Geoffrey B. Charlesworth This Spring you spring ahead looking forward to the future. You celebrate life by not reliving the past over and over, but instead optimistically looking towards the clean slate of this new day. You celebrate harmony with relatives, friends, and coworkers, and you realize that your spiritual purpose is to be life-giving and uplifting to them. You celebrate the Christ life as you pray for others in a positive and uplifting way, believing the best about their possibilities when working with God. When I overhear someone talking in a restaurant about you, they will say, “That person makes me feel totally alive; I feel that I laugh more when I am around them and enjoy life more.” You will find that you cannot give it away, you become a life-giving spirit to yourself, for it comes through you first directly from God, and you feel totally alive. In Psalms 118:24, the Bible states, “This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” This Spring day is God’s special gift to you; it is to be celebrated fully. You give it the high regard that you would give to any other precious gift. God gives you this Spring to celebrate and to use bountifully and beneficially. You show your appreciation to God by accepting each hour with expectation and gladness. This is the time to do something you feel inspired to do for yourself and for others - saying something kind to another person, paying a complement, praising, or giving a helping hand. Perhaps it is time for you to give something life-giving to yourself, like taking a leisurely walk in God’s nature, or starting a program of self-improvement. Great things can happen, this Spring, but only if you celebrate this moment. This day becomes special for you as you become open to its possibilities. There is a cornucopia of opportunities for you to make a difference, this Spring. Spring has been freely given to you, and you share it freely with others by being generous with your time, attention, and activities. You give back to this Springtime your gifts of hope, trust, life, love, and creativity. POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER: For flowers that bloom about our feet, For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet, For song of bird, and hum of bee, For all things fair we hear or see, God, we thank Thee! For blue of stream and blue of sky, For pleasant shade of branches high, For fragrant air and cooling breeze, For beauty of the blooming trees, God, we thank Thee!
