Spring!

Winter was tough in North Jersey this year...ugh!  It seemed relentless.  Almost every week, inches and inches of snow was falling.  Thanks be to God, however, Spring is right around the corner.   The weather reminds me of these verses out of Song of Songs: 

"See! The winter is past;

 the rains are over and gone.

Flowers appear on the earth;

    the season of singing has come,

the cooing of doves

    is heard in our land.

The fig tree forms its early fruit;

    the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.

Arise, come, my darling;

    my beautiful one, come with me.”

Those words "arise, come, my darling" are beautiful to my soul.  He knows how certain seasons of our lives can drag us down, leaving us drained and feeling useless.  Some of us find ourselves in the pit of life!  But His Love beckons us to His Heart.  Do you hear Him calling you out of the darkness and the cold? Let us reflect on Psalm 27:8:

"My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”    And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”

Our God delights in communicating with us.  Let us never shut His Voice out, rather, let us invite Him into our hearts..even now. Amen!
