Spring is (hopefully) right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! Anyone else SO ready for the weather to get warmer?

I don’t know about you, but I find myself in a much better mood when the sun is shining. There’s just something about sunshine that our bodies respond to, and I don’t think that’s by accident.

I was talking with some friends and one of them said something so profound to my heart: “if you can’t find the sunshine, BE the sunshine.”

And as soon as I heard that, it was like a lightbulb went off.

Just as God designed our bodies to crave the sun, He designed our hearts to crave The Son.

He is the sunshine of our souls.
He is the sunshine that never goes away.
He is the sunshine living inside of us, every single day.

How do I be sunshine? How do I shine bright when all I see is darkness? How do I smile through unforeseen circumstances?

By soaking in The Son.
Day after day. Minute after minute. Breath after breath.

Soak up The Son.
Sit in His presence.
Breathe Him in.
Let His warmth wash over you.

And proclaim the truth that no matter what the weather is, both outside your window and inside your heart, you can always have the sunshine of our God in your spirit.

A sunshine that will never ever fade, even on the coldest and darkest of days.

Thank you, Jesus.
