"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may
come from the Lord"
Acts 3:19

Greetings!
Peter has just healed a crippled man in this story from Acts.  After the healing, he turns to the people present and preaches a little sermon on God's faithfulness and how forgiveness is being offered to them through Jesus Christ.  Even though God has acted in Jesus to forgive our sins, Peter still calls the people to repent...
A common theme for many people during Lent has always been "Repent" and "Believe."  It seems that most people don't have a problem with the theme of repentance during the season of Lent.  The history of the church supports the days before Easter as days of introspection and self-examination in order to change one's behavior to "get right with God."  But then it seems that we are quick to put repentance away.  We focus, instead, on the salvation granted at the cross as well we should.  But Peter reminds us that if Jesus' death and resurrection doesn't make any difference in our lives then we might have a problem...
Spring is the time of new growth.  Flowers push their way to the surface and bloom brightly in parks and gardens.  Grass begins to grow, mowing begins, and we spend time outdoors basking in the sunshine.  Our spiritual life should reflect this same period of new growth.  Easter is the time of life, eternal life, blooming brightly in our lives.  We need to savor that time, clutch the joy of the resurrection to our chest and breathe deeply of the fresh air of forgiveness.
But just as a gardener prepares the soil and tends it to new growth, we need to tend the garden of our spiritual lives.  Start your new growth with time spent in prayer.  Read the scriptures daily.  Listen to God calling out to you.  Repent...and believe....
