A few weeks ago I shared a picture of my wisteria vine and my longings for Spring. As you can see in the picture above, the leaves are out and the blossoms are in full force.
I was thinking about the relative speed with which the leaves and blossoms sprouted...once it was time. When winter is truly over, nature takes its course. For those of us in Winter seasons in our souls, the waiting can be unbearable. Blossoms and green leaves can seem very far away, even impossible. But God is the God of the seasons and Spring does follow Winter. My wisteria vine proves that Spring does come. So...hang in there.
For me, this year feels like a great blossoming after an extremely long winter. I know that it has not been long for God, but to me, it has seemed endless at times. I am grateful to come out of the dormancy and to sprout a few leaves and even some flowers.
For those of us in Spring seasons in our souls, enjoy the new birth and beauty of this time. It is truly a gift from God, our generous Father.
James 1:17-18 - Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
