What If Spring Never Came?

Spring is beginning to creep it's warm neck out. A gift.... A reminder that God is near... So very near... Whether in the frigid snow, the grayest of grays... No matter what season of life you are in... God is still God.

What if spring never came?

What are you waiting for to spring up in your life? What is your heart set on to happen before you can truly enjoy your life?

What if spring never came?

What if the snow never melted? Is God still Gad?
Is He still the Master Controller?
Does He still loves us unconditionally as His chosen adopted sons and daughters?
Does He still listen to our cries and wipes our tears?
Does He still rejoice over us with singing?
Does He still want freedom in every area of our life?
Does He still carry our burdens?
Does He still fill us with strength when we are weak?
Does He still give us the peace that transcends all understanding?
Does He still turn onto good the not so good in our life?
Yes, Yes, Yes......and Yes!

Forever faithful.. That is our Lord. Always ready and willing to take our hand, to pull us out of the winter in our life. Always ready to shine His light on our gray days. Always ready to rejoice with us in our springs.

So again I ask... What if spring never came?
Spring is here... Always... As the Lord sprinkles our lives with Himself.

So we fix our eyes on His face....so He can melt the snow and provide the sunlight that we need.

God is God in winter, spring, summer and fall. He never changes. Let him be the rock you stand on in this ever changing wobbly world.
May your heart bloom with His Glorious Presence...no matter what season you are experiencing.

His Peace to you,

Joni

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:2

Such sadness comes upon me as as I hear about loved ones who are suffering....whether in spirit or in health. The Lord tells us in John 16:33 that, "In this world you will have trouble...BUT take heart! I have overcome the world."

This temporary world for which we live, isn't our real home, as our citizenship is in heaven, "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. – 2 Corinthians 4:18

As long as my eyes are fixed on the pain and suffering in this world, my heart breaks. As I focus my eyes on what is "unseen", my heart still breaks, as I see loved ones suffer, yet it is my Lord who fills me with His peace because of His message of hope...His guarantee that one day... all who are in Christ... will live "Happily Ever After"...in a perfect world... where there will be no more tears, no more pain. The added plus is that we will get new perfect bodies!

A place where we will be reunited with our loved ones in heavenly bliss.

So daily I will choose to fix my eyes on the unseen, beyond the hardships that come my way, and be filled with His peace because one day, He will call me Home to live Happily Ever After.

When God Calls Me Home

On that day, marked out for me~

God will call me home.

At the perfect time, in the perfect way~

He will shout down from His throne.

Joni, my child, the time has come~

I want you by my side.

Your job on earth is finished now~

I hope you enjoyed the ride.

So come on now and be with me~

in Eternal bliss,

Your true life begins right now~

It doesn't get better than this.

You fought the good fight with persevering faith~

Come meet me face to face.

It's time to get the redeeming prize~

For running the Christian race.

May you experience pure joy and peace in the midst of your circumstances, as you fix your eyes on the unseen...knowing the Lord has created a Happily Ever After that is way beyond your comprehension.

In His Peace,

Joni
