(Above is the first sprout of my garden this year.)
“…the seed sprouts and grows and increases–he knows not how.”
Mark 4:27 AMPC
New beginnings. New life. It’s there. He’s there. The seed is hidden in the dark, cold soil of the earth. We see it not. Yet it is growing roots, taking hold of the good ground, opening itself to life, preparing to break through on the other side.
We see it not. We know not how. We don’t dig it up to analyze its progress. We can’t force it to grow faster. We rest. We wait. We anticipate. We praise.
It’s the same with us. Hidden and trusting in Jesus, we know even in our dark places, He is making the miraculous happen. We know not how. Our part is not to try to figure it out. Our part is to trust. To trust in His love that is too big to comprehend. To trust in His goodness that knows no limits. To trust He is making all things new and beautiful.
All because The Seed (Jesus) went to the depths of the earth for you and was raised to give you life abundant with Him through intimacy.
So slow down. Take a step out of the rat race. Be still and know that the absence of your understanding is NOT the absence of His moving Presence. Find your calm in not concerning yourself with the “hows” and “whys,” but in letting yourself be loved as you are and enjoying Him where you are.
It’s spring. Take a moment (or two, or three…) out of your day today and open your heart and eyes to the promises of new life all around you. And then encounter it (Him) within you.
Resting In His Love,

That is just how it is. Don’t try to figure it out … just Trusting Him and Believing that He has everything all taken care of = FAITH. Hallelujah and Praise to Jesus Christ!!
A beautiful blog!
