Texas blue bonnets, a favorite flower announcing a new season with bright color.
To see the clean, bright colors of Springtime, appear generously from the earth and announce new life.
It’s a beautiful reminder to my soul, just how generous, good and faithful God is, to make all things new.
“But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:13
Yet, we can experience new life today in Christ!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away; behold the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“…to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,
and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self,
created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24
Soul Awakened
My heart, dear God, identify.
Wrestling, back and forth
Discern that which bombards
The rest and peace I regard.
My eternity, my only worth.
When shall I be content?
Quietly, each day to serve,
For I am doing much better
Than I deserve.
Oh soul, awakened to remember.
You’ve tasted and perceived
His truth, delight, and mercy tender
Flaming out of being cleansed.
