See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.

Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.

The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.

Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.
‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Imagery changes us.

The change of seasons is embedded in the message of Easter and the resurrection story.

From the icy grip of winter comes the promise of abundant new life and the invitation of a lifetime.

The Bible isn’t always a story.

Sometimes it’s the feeling you get when a passage imagines the promise of your new life right in front of you fresh and in living color.
