New Life Possibilities






I have long wanted to update but I just never seem to have the time, or I have started and can't get the images to work or whatever or someone else comes along and REALLY needs to use the computer....anyway, a short update and then I must go. Today driving to the store I observed once again the miracle of spring, how the trees and ground and plants go from dark and dead looking, stark, to these incredibly gorgeous beautiful colorful bright images that dazzle the eye. I couldn't help but think about the miracle of new birth that God gives us! We are dead, unable to do anything, and He makes us alive and full of possibility. Seeds fascinate me--they look dead and dry, but put in the ground, they spring up and grow into pretty plants or nourishing fruits and vegetables, yielding even more seeds for more possibilities, more life. Amazing! And our loving heavenly Father does this for US! What a wondrous Savior is Jesus our Lord. New life, and new possibilities. What can He do with our lives? What "fruit" can we produce? After all, we have been rescued from the grave, from the miry pit, and given abundant life, full and free. Let us pray that we will be tender soil, letting the Master Gardener prune us and grow us into the best we can be--for Him! Happy Spring!
"Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great." Luke 8:8
