Budding beginnings

"Spring is here! Spring is here!" is the excited cry of every nature lover. It truly is an exhilarating time for any given nature enthusiast! Flowers are blooming, grass is growing, and birds are beginning to sing! But what happens before spring comes? It is the dead of winter. Nothing is alive. But at the first sight of a budding flower, a pluse of joy is sent through the body. Spring is on its way!

Sometimes we feel like spring will never come. But will it? Are the promises of God really sure. "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10,11 NKJV) Gods promises have not failed. Spring has come every year at its appointed time. No matter how dead winter may seem, plants soon begin to shoot up and birds begin to sing. So don't lose hope. Even though the present may seem dark and dreary, God has a bright hope and a future for you! (see Jeremiah 29:11) If you choose Jesus, then you choose happiness. Although you may be going through some tough time, His presence right beside you will cheer you on. (see Isaiah 41:10)
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." (John 14:1-3) This world feels like the dead of winter. But heaven is like a beautiful spring garden where you can pick a never fading flower! Jesus wants you to live in heaven with Him forever! The second you ask Jesus to for give you of your sins is the second that He writes you down in the guest book of heaven!
