Son Shine!

Today’s Reading: John 8:10-11(NIV)

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

This is a great day to experience new life! From where I’m sitting inside my home, I can see the sun rising up across the sky and I am so very grateful. We’ve had weeks of clouds and rain, sleet, and snow. To see the sun on a day like today makes me want to run outside and walk into the Promise. Do you have spring fever? In a couple of weeks, daylight savings time will kick in across the United States. We will begin to experience extended hours of day light, and I can hardly wait! I have a walking buddy that I’ve been missing, and once the time changes, we should be able to get together again for spring strolls and some girl talk as we enjoy our favorite city park together.

Can you imagine the joy that precious woman must have felt when Christ saved her life in the town square? She had been sentenced to death for sins she had committed. With one simple statement, Jesus Christ convinced the crowd to let her live. She must have felt like jumping and dancing in the Son’s light, after a long and cold winter. To finally be free of the burdens she carried, knowing that there was hope for even someone like her, was truly a reason to celebrate! The Son had come up in her life and He had set her free to live!

This is a brand new day! When we fail, we have a Savior who forgives us and offers us a brand new beginning in Him. We can experience His wonderful rebirth today, when we choose to leave our sins behind, and begin walking in the light of His grace and love. Come outside with me and enjoy the rising Son. He will forgive you right now if you ask Him to. My Jesus Christ will do it, as sure as the sun is shining this morning!

Enjoy the day! It is His ultimate gift of love, given especially for you.

Grace and peace,
