For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. 1 Timothy 4:4 NIV

God sets the stage for each new season of life. Through long days of winter, He finds the way to help us persevere. He opens our hearts to receive the power of His presence and faithfully promises He will handle every single thing.

Days will be difficult and it will be hard to find peace and calm. We will become impatient as we try and faithfully trust. But God will find the way to guide us back where we belong. He will arm us with everything we need to find strength in Him. And He will help us persevere… 

Spring will be here soon! Winter gray will be replaced with blue-sky days of good. Green will become greener. Brown weathered soil will grow new life. And the sun will shine with greater reward when we’re covered by what has been missing. 

God has a plan for our lives. The Bible says, “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 We must remember who’s in charge of ALL things and BELIEVE better days will come… 

God will help us see past cloudy gray if we humble our hearts and focus on HIM. And when we cannot see who is working for the good, He will make His presence known. HE will wait  for the prayers of our praise! 

HOPE will come from the love of our faithfulness. Winter is almost over! We mustn’t forget there’s a reason for the seasons of our lives. Our loving Father will LOVE us through each and every one. 

Dear God, Thank you for loving us; even on weathered days of doubt. Thank you for helping us clearly see what needs to be noticed. As we look at clouds of gray help us see only the love of Your faithfulness, so we won’t waste time seeking the sun. We will remember who is working for the good. And we will patiently wait for better days to come.Thank you, God! Thank You!
