I feel like we could compare life to that of a leaf in that we go through certain seasons. Seasons of hope, gladness, joy and sometimes of despair, anger and fearfulness. At the beginning of each of these seasons God gives us the opportunity to grow, so we start of as small buds needing light and nourishment so He gives us all that we need, we just have to be willing to let him garden. During this time, we're blooming, we're fragile and learning how to be in the transformation but with the Lord there will always be a lesson. There will times of difficulty, a drought so to speak where we may have strayed because it was difficult and we thought we could handle things on our own. We become stumped. Perhaps we've forgotten that amongst the dry season where we haven't grown as we should've it's because He's using this season to bring us to back to Him. He want's to be part of our every moment if we let Him.
I have to confess that the Lord has been working on me these last couple of weeks and I've been on the battlefield, the enemy has had his way with me, beating me down at every corner. My lesson came to fruition this past Sunday. This season has not been easy, I feel like when I started to bloom the rains stopped, the thoughts of being inadequate and being hurt by the opinions of others drowned out my light, covered me with an umbrella and stumped me. BUT GOD. I feel that this season is starting to be over. The veil of the umbrella has been removed because I refuse to allow others to define who I am and the light has broken though. I am a daughter of the King and His opinion is the ONLY ONE that matters.
So just as the leafs life comes to the end of another season so will our seasons end. We've both grown, we've survived the purpose and at the end we've changed appearances and now it's time to let go. Each season we go through we have the opportunity to feed the next and to help others blossom in their growth.
