It is the time to seek the Lord- Hosea 10:12
Oh how I love Spring! Within me there is a fresh spirit when Spring time comes. Recently I have been in search of new flowers blooming and baby lambs. :) I have gone on drives with my camera in hand ready to find some sheep to watch. This may come across as funny but it is a Spiritual reason. Time and time again Jesus compares his people to sheep. I have been studying this in depth which has awakened my soul to a new Love of my Shepard Jesus.
"I'm the good Shepard; I know my sheep and my sheep know me." -John 10:14
Do I find it coincidence that as Spring has come my Soul as awakened as well?

In my devotion book by Charles Spurgen I came across a quote I wanted to share because it struck a chord to how God is working in me this Spring:).
" The month of April is said to derive its name from the Latin verb aperio, which means to open, because all the buds and blossoms are now opening, and we have arrived at the gates of the flowery season....Every blossoming flower reminds you that now is the time to seek the Lord; do not be out of tune with nature, but let your heart bud and bloom with holy desire."
When I read this it all came together for me. As God has been at work in nature he also is at work refreshing my Spirit.
My interest in finding lambs is truly just to observe their nature with one another. I want to have a deeper understanding to Jesus' corilation with his people and sheep. I want to be reminded of why I am in daily need of my Shepard.
"I am the good Shepard. The good Shepard lays down his life for the Sheep." -John 10:11
I want to be in his creation giving praise.
"But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you." -Is. 12:24
As Spring has come and Easter approaches may your heart seek Jesus...
