The winter of 2015 has been one of the most severe in recent years in the Maritimes. There have been blizzards whiteouts, freezing temperatures and amazing amounts of snow. There seemed to be no end. But finally, spring came, the sun did shine again, temperatures warmed up and snow banks melted. Reminds one of life. Storms of sickness, hardships, broken hearts, disappointment, harden our hearts. In our frustration we sometimes blame God for our troubles. But one day, we hear the story of God’s Son and how His love shines in, and our frozen, hardened hearts begin to melt. Roads that were impassable before, open as we learn to walk by faith. Storms may come again, but now when we turn to Christ, we have God living in us. Paul explained, “…do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, Whom you have from God and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body…” Then, “with Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm.”
