Spring
A Time
of Renewal
|
|
Spring, in her snow bonnet,'March-ed'
right in the door;
Wind blowing, sun smiling, just as she
had done before.
Leaving Winter behind in its snowy
tracks,
Spring came, as she promised, "I will
be back."
With Spring, came Forsythia, early to
rise,
Lovely yellow hands waved at all who
passed by.
Daffodils also celebrated Spring's
arrival,
Nodding their pretty heads, for beauty
having few rivals.
Earthworms popped up their heads to
see what going on.
Early Robins quickly snatched them
up and sang a song.
Tender little green shoots, swelled
out on limbs,
Gave promise of new life, not just a
whim.
Spring is God's way of saying, "Don't
give up, hold on.
There is resurrection-life in knowing
Christ alone."
He died just like Winter but didn't
stay in the grave.
Just as Spring came with promise, new
life He gave."

Never give up
on God.
Spring says He
hasn't given up on you!
"While the
earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and
summer and winter, and the day and night shall not cease"
(Genesis 8:22).
Perhaps you
have noticed that Spring always follows Winter! The
seasons of our life are in God's hands. If it seems as
if you are "Wintering," be prepared to "Spring" forth as God's
plan unfolds and develops for you.
Remember how
He worked in Joseph's life? He didn't loose confidence
in God's workings.
"But as for
you, ye thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good,
to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people
alive" (Genesis 50:20).
"Spring
forth"! It's renewal time!
