He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." -Revelation 21:5
If you're anything like me, cold weather gets you down. I'm not sure what it is because I was born in December. I'm told by my parents, however, that the day on which I was born, there were records broken for how warm it was. The day after I was born—a blizzard. I'm not sure if my birthday and the blizzard correlate or not. Part of the reason I don't enjoy the cold is it seems to last forever, and it's hard to believe there's anything living beneath the icy surface. But there is, of course, as spring will eventually remind us. Each spring reminds us of the beauty God has. But for now, we have to wait. Our spiritual lives are often the same way. Many times we can't see beyond the spiritual season of winter in which we find ourselves. We feel lifeless, uninterested, and disengaged. We crave things that will offer a glimpse of new life, but often fulfill our hunger for God with something that won't satisfy us. Sometimes the season we're in is weary and we wonder how long it will last. This is exactly when we need to remember that spring will come. This is when we need to keep the faith. We need to remember all that God has done for us, even if we don't feel as connected to him as we would like. It's during these wintery times that we must remember God's love is constant. It does not waiver or decrease. You will get through your present winter struggles as sure as spring will bring new life. God has already planted new life within you and he makes all things new. Pastor Michael
