Let The Light Shine Brightly

I suspect that many of us have woken each morning over this past week and hoped that the day would bring some small moments of sunlight. We are typically blessed to live in a place that is regularly bathed in bright sunlight that brings the full colours of nature and life alive. Like the weather, our lives can also become greyed over with busyness and the rhythms of life. Holidays provide a time where we can slow down, connect with friends and family, laugh and have fun. Holidays provide an important time for us to rest, relax and rejuvenate. As we do so, light shines in and the abundance of our lives comes more fully into view.

Easter provides an important time for renewal as we reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus is a bright light that brings hope into our lives. Over this Easter break we can turn to God and ask for forgiveness for all our mistakes and failings and in turn forgive others. God invites us to shed all the grey of the past and walk lightly in the bright light of God’s hope, love and forgiveness trusting that God will provide for all our needs.
