The Beauty of Fall
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
SOMETIMES WE MAKE the mistake of freezing people in time. We remember them at their worst moments and don’t give them a second chance or have faith that they can change. In God’s grace we can let go of our assumptions of people and open our hearts to see others as Christ sees them.
Heavenly Father, in the midst of winter, help me to let go of thoughts of others that are frozen in time. Unfreeze my heart.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.—Song of Solomon 2:11–12 (ESV)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.—2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
