About the Cover

What do you see when you look at this picture? Just some yellow weeds and dead leaves? This plant is called coltsfoot, and it's one of the first flowers to greet us in the spring. As I see these little circles of sunshine push their way up through the decaying remains of the past fall and winter, they are alive with the promise of hope and new life. They encourage me that I, too, can break through all the old, dead debris of my life, the things that have weighed me down and brought pain and sorrow. I can emerge from it filled with the hope of new life and a brighter future. Jesus offers us this hope of new life, for if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, and the new has come.
