When Spring Fails to Come

We are on Spring Break in Tennessee this week. The signs of spring are all around. Flowering trees like Dogwood, Pear, and Cherry are in bloom. Purple pansies and yellow daffodils stand out in bright contrast to the still brown grass.

Yet for some, spring has failed to arrive. In their heart, winter lingers. The darkness and cold of sorrow, grief, fear, despair, loneliness, and pain have taken residence and there seems to be no end in sight.

Has spring failed to come in your heart? I am over at iBelieve today, talking about where to find hope and light in the darkness of winter.
