Rest and Preparation

The sun peeks around the corner of the hill, bringing light to the land that lays dormant in its winter sleep. As the ground rests, the soil is being enriched by good, microscopic bacteria that is breaking down the fallen leaves and dried grass, and turning them into fertilizer for future plants. The earth is being renewed, prepared and primed for a fresh season of growth. And we are, too.

Jesus Christ is preparing us for new growth. He is calling us to rest in His everlasting arms, so we can better receive His strength and His blessings. He is stirring a desire in our hearts to know Him better, so He can unlock the secrets of living the abundant life that Scripture promises. He is opening doors to new opportunities and unlimited possibilities, as we submit ourselves and what we do, to Him.

May you know that God the Father, blesses you in the Heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus, when you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. May you know that you have unlimited potential, and eternal grace to step into the calling the Lord set before you. May you know that no matter what age you are, new growth awaits you, and you can bloom with the gifts of Heaven, and become a sweet fragrance reflecting God's love.
