On this dreary, rainy Friday morning, when I'm selfishly wishing it to be beautifully sunny & warm, I'm reminded that May flowers cannot thrive without the April showers. Seems simple, but why do I so often forget the natural progression in creation? Why do I want sunny & blue skies all day every day and never welcome the cooler rainy days, yet those rainy days are necessary and good? How can it be that the birds keep chirping and singing no matter the weather each spring morning, but I struggle to sing in my heart each spring morning? The Bible teaches that my heart is naturally bent to be sinful; complaining, entitled, and discontent. I need my heart to be pointed to Jesus and remind myself each morning of how He has given us everything we need each day 🙏 with Easter approaching next weekend, I'm so excited to celebrate His greatest gift to the world and to my soul - His perfect life given as a sacrifice so that we may know true love and know God ❤️✝️❤️
