Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 NIV 

Spring is here! We have waited patiently to welcome this day! Soon, we will be nourished by the warmth of this season. And, God will grow us in the timing of His love. 

God prepares us to bloom. He lovingly tends the garden of our lives, even before His seeds have had a chance to grow. The Master Planter pours hope in our hearts. And, when the timing is right, He strengthens the love of our faithfulness. 

During times of wonder, we become impatient as we wait for better days to come. But, God knows when we will bloom. He readies us to rise in the garden of His greatness. And, He takes time to nurture the heart of our growth. He teaches to appreciate what waits to be discovered and provides the way for us to learn how it feels to trust. 

We must WAIT for the sun to shine on gloomy days of doubt. For, if we are patient, God will set the stage for everything good. He will provide glimpses of what’s ahead and remind us who is handling our days. 

God will pour strength in our hearts, while we WAIT to be rewarded by His faithfulness. He will help us remember why we must put our hope in Him and believe He WILL take care of those He loves. 

Dear God, Thank you for moments to remember we are being grown by You. Forgive us when we become impatient while we wait. Allow faith to flourish, as we prepare our hearts to welcome Your peace and learn how it feels to find strength in You. Amen
