Every spring, as the first little buds start to appear on the trees outside my kitchen window, I feel something shift in my heart. It is like a deep breath after a long quiet winter. The air gets a little softer, the days a little brighter, and my soul begins to stir. Spring always feels like a promise—a reminder that even what looked dry or forgotten can come back to life.
In our home, spring is not just about deep cleaning closets or planting herbs on the porch. It is also about refreshing our hearts with God's Word. I find myself drawn to scriptures that speak of new beginnings, of hope pushing up through the soil of discouragement. These verses become the background music of our days, whether they are printed and framed on the wall or simply whispered during a morning coffee.
Here are seven Bible verses I love to turn to in the spring. They each carry a different note of God's goodness. His grace that waters, His love that blooms, and His faithfulness that never fades.
Song of Songs 2:11–12
“See. The winter is past. The rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth. The season of singing has come. The cooing of doves is heard in our land.”
This poetic passage always makes me smile. It is like a celebration in the language of spring. The winter is gone, and suddenly the world comes alive with sound and color. When I read it, I think of early mornings with the windows cracked open, hearing birds return to the yard, and watching daffodils stretch their necks toward the sun. It reminds me that every season, no matter how cold, gives way to joy.
Isaiah 61:11
“For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.”
My husband and I plant a small garden every spring. Not much, just a few tomatoes, herbs, and maybe some snap peas. It is enough to remind us how amazing growth is. This verse takes that same image and lifts it to something holy. God does in our hearts what the earth does with seeds. He causes praise and goodness to rise up. Even if I cannot see the roots, I trust He is working beneath the surface.
2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone. The new is here.”
There have been times in my life when I really needed to hear this. When I felt like I had messed up or lost my way, this verse reminded me that Jesus does not just improve us. He renews us completely. Spring mirrors that truth. It is not about tidying up old leaves. It is about new growth. A fresh start. In Christ, we are invited to begin again. That is such a comfort to me.
Isaiah 35:1–2
“The desert and the parched land will be glad. The wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom. It will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.”
This one is for the days that feel dry. Maybe you have had them too. Days where you feel worn thin, a little tired in body and spirit. I love that God speaks directly to those seasons. He says that even deserts can bloom. Even wilderness can rejoice. I have seen it in my own life. God turning tired, weary places into something beautiful. This verse helps me hold on to hope when things still look barren.
Hosea 14:5–6
“I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots. His young shoots will grow.”
There is something so gentle about this image. Dew on the ground in the morning is quiet, but it gives life. That is how I have come to know God. Present in the little things, faithful in quiet ways. This verse reminds me that blossoming is not loud. It can happen slowly, humbly, and still be strong. Deep roots matter. Especially as a mother, I want to grow not just up and out, but deep.
Lamentations 3:22–23
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.”
Every morning is a new start. I need that grace, especially on the days that begin with laundry piles and loud cereal bowls. This verse reminds me that no matter what yesterday held, today is a clean page. God's compassion does not run out. It is renewed every morning, just like the first rays of sun across the floor. I try to whisper this one before the house wakes up. It sets the tone for my day.
Psalm 1:3
“That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever they do prospers.”
I love the idea of being planted. In a world that feels like it is always rushing and always shifting, I want to be rooted. This verse tells me that staying close to God's Word is what brings strength and steady growth. Spring is a perfect reminder of that. Roots matter. And fruit comes when we are grounded in truth. I want that for my children too. To see that being planted in the right soil makes all the difference.
Favorite From Our Home: Isaiah 40:31
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint.”
This verse hangs above the desk where I do my quiet time. It was one of the first scripture prints we chose when starting Prayers and Prints. It speaks to the kind of renewal that only comes from the Lord. Not from sleep or vacation or even coffee. True strength is found in hope. Hope that waits. Hope that trusts. And that kind of hope makes us rise.
Letting Scripture Bloom in Your Home
One of my favorite things about scripture is that it meets us in every season. But there is something extra special about the verses that feel like spring. They remind us that life can come from dry places. That what was hidden will soon grow. That God is always planting something good.
If you are looking to bring this sense of renewal into your home, I invite you to fill your walls with the Word. I do not mean just decorating. I mean surrounding yourself with truth. Let your kitchen, your entryway, your bedroom remind you that God is still writing your story, and that His mercies are new every morning.
Spring is not just a season outside our windows. It is a season we can choose to live in. By planting scripture deep in our hearts and watching what blooms.
