rekindled

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
- Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)
 
Spring has a way of bringing things back to life. Trees begin to bud, flowers push up through the soil, and the world slowly starts to feel new again.
Sometimes renewal happens in our relationships too.
Recently I reconnected with a friend I’ve known since grade school. Like many friendships after graduation, life simply carried us in different directions and we lost touch for many years. But over the past few weeks we’ve been sharing stories, remembering old times, and catching up on how life has changed us.
One of the most encouraging things to hear was that through all the ups and downs life brought his way, he never lost his faith. Through hardships and challenges, he still gives credit to God.
Hearing that was a reminder to me of how powerful steady faith can be. Even when years pass and paths diverge, the light of Christ can still be shining in someone’s life.
Sometimes God brings people back into our lives at just the right moment—not only to renew friendship, but to encourage our hearts and remind us of His faithfulness through the years.
Just like spring reminds us that new life is always possible, God can refresh relationships, restore connections, and strengthen faith in ways we never expected.
And sometimes the greatest encouragement comes from simply seeing that someone else is still walking with the Lord.
