Signs of life
Where is God working around you?
In the trees around our neighborhood you can see signs of life, but you have to look closely. it looks like the bud is going to come out any moment, but only the Lord really knows when.
This is a sign of the tree that has looked dead for so long but still has life in it. It’s a beautiful reminder that we should never judge things by their appearances. If it’s true about trees and plants, how much more so about those made in the image of God?
I love springtime when everything blooms, but I love the moments right before spring too. It reminds us that God is working in those moments even when we don’t see it. You might be tempted to give up on someone or some thing in your life, but we should remember that God is always working.
God is working in the lives of people even when we can’t see the fruit right now. But if you look closely, you might see a bud. And that bud is a promise of life to come.
