This time of year as flowers bloom and vegetable gardens burst with bounty, it’s a good time to reflect on your spiritual life. Has anything crept into your life—material want, or an unhealthy habit—that needs weeding out? It’s important to nurture your relationship with God by taking out anything that separates you from Him.

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?—Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.—Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV)
