It's coming to the end of a season - more specifically Autumn here in Australia... and a next season is arriving - WINTER.
Similarly, there are seasons we go through - in our personal lives, in our families circumstances, in our learning environments, in wherever we're working at or whoever we are working with, in our churches, ministries and spiritual calling or growth...
Seasons come and seasons go...
It may be a cycle, but when we learn to fully appreciate the changes of each season and embrace these changes for ourselves - we will realise that these changes can be beautiful and wonderful, especially when it comes from the Creator Himself.
Changes are hard to follow. Different seasons may come earlier or later than expected. But are we ready for the changes that is to come? Have we prepared ourselves for the change of the next season?
I want to prepare myself for these changes. I want to be blown away by the changes He has in mind for us - may it be new experiences (or simple experiences in which I was not able to fully appreciated before), new rhythms played in life, new formed relationship (or rather renewed ones), or the use of new skills, abilities and talents (gifts from the Creator which we have not been utilising)... or new understanding and revelation of what is real and true, or rather who is the the Truth.
These are all really nothing new to our God... but to us, it may be the birth of something new - especially when we have not fully grasp or really owned up to what we are made to do or how we are meant to live - citizens of His Kingdom, His very own children.
