A Renewal

Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. ~ Romans 6:4

So shall we come to look at the world with new eyes. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson. 

Transitions are a part of life, allowing for perpetual renewal. When you experience the end of one chapter, allow yourself to feel the emotions of loss and rebirth.

A bud gives way to a new flower, which surrenders to the fruit, which gives rise to a seed, which yields a new sprout. Even as you ride the roller coaster, embrace the centered internal reference of the ever-present witness. ~ David Simon

Gratitude is the most passionate transformative force in the cosmos. When we offer thanks to God or to another human being, gratitude gifts us with renewal, reflection, reconnection. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach 

When we complain of having to do the same thing over and over, let us remember that God does not send new trees, strange flowers and different grasses every year.

When the spring winds blow, they blow in the same way. In the same places the same dear blossoms lift up the same sweet faces, yet they never weary us.

When it rains, it rains as it always has. Even so would the same tasks which fill our daily lives put on new meanings if we wrought them in the spirit of renewal from within–a spirit of growth and beauty. ~ Helen Keller

If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company. ~ Charles Spurgeon

Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life. ~ Janine di Giovanni 

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow. ~ Martin Luther

The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel. ~ Timothy Keller
