Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall


     You may be in a difficult season of life. It seems impossible to embrace some of the seasons we are forced to enter head-first. The dive down can be excruciating and we hold our breath wondering if we will ever reach the surface again. God knows where you are. Somehow, He will use this time of suffering, this season of loss, of fear, of loneliness. Often He uses our tough times to give us experience to help others. It is His way.

Praise be to the god and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

     There is hope ahead, in the season to come, a new spring, a summer sun, the beauty in fall, the sparkle of winter snow. Each season brings wisdom, love and light when we wait upon the Lord. If this season is a tough one, hang on. He will use this for His glory. If it is a season of joy, embrace it and share it with others. If it is a season of waiting, be patient. God’s timing is absolutely perfect.

Father,

Comfort those who suffer and teach us how to use our times of trouble to comfort others. You teach us through the storms and You fill us with the light of hope in the deepest darkness. We rejoice in You no matter the season.

In Jesus name,

Amen
