Sometimes
when the leaves fall
and the
tree looks bare,
a beauty is
exposed that
we couldn't
see before.
As I was
out for a walk,
a tree that
had lost almost all its leaves
revealed a
beautiful pond that likely
wasn't all
that visible a week ago.
With the
leaves in their rightful place,
this little
pond was probably hidden.
The Lord so
clearly spoke to me
that
sometimes things we have
totally
enjoyed during one season
may have to
look like they have died back
before we
see can something new.
As we trust
the Holy Spirit to guide us,
we can rest
in His desire
to lead us
not only to something new,
but to
something beautiful.
We just
need to have eyes to see.
My prayer
is that the Holy Spirit
would make my heart open to goodness,
make my heart open to
the beauty that
He has placed all
around me every day.
Especially when some things around me
look like bare trees
and scattered leaves.
All of creation reflects the beauty
of the One
who created it all.
An old song
has been running
through my
heart as a reminder to see.
"I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning
The colors of the morning
are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful..."
