Seasons

1 down, 4 to go. We have made it past Monday. That always feels good because the next Monday doesn’t show up again for another 7 days. I am ready for the wonderful fall weather minus the rain. Add in some sunshine and I am good to go. I love it when the leaves begin to change but I wish they would just fall among the trees and stay out of my yard or whatever I have growing on the ground. Seasons of the year are much like seasons in our spiritual life. We die to our old selves and are reborn in Christ. At times we are on fire for Him and other times we are cold and searching for that warmth of the Son. The pure blanket of snow covers a ground that has ceased to grow new life and shows a future of new growth. If we didn’t have the seasons, would we not appreciate the warmth of the sun or the coolness of a fall breeze? In our walk with Christ, would we truly appreciate the love and compassion of our Lord if we didn’t have to walk through the dark valleys and face the temptations that life throws at us every day? Only when we come out of those valleys and have put aside those temptations and see that God has been beside us the whole time, do we appreciate his love and compassion. He walks with us even when we don’t feel like He is there. If we can only try and walk out the Kingdom every day and show Christ’s love to others will we begin to see how Christ is guiding us in the way of truth. May we live life to the fullest and strive to love as Christ loves.
