Ice melts
Hearts soften
I am here, says God.
Tulips bloom
Friendship starts
I am here, says God.
Roses bloom
Souls unite
I am here, says God.
Water flows
Thirst quenched
I am here, says God.
Fear finds
Doubt disrupts
I am here, says God.
Storms strike
People struggle
I am here, says God.
Division breaks
Bridges build
I am here, says God.
Hope remains
Love lasts
I am here, says God.
- What flower did you first notice this spring?
- Where have you seen new growth or renewal in your life since winter?
- What storm, fear or division is blocking you from blossoming?
- Do you trust God’s presence in your life?
I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3: 9-24 NIV
Remember…Life Is Better When It’s Full – Joy-full, Thank-full, Purpose-full and Friend-full! ™
