Season's of Your Life

Years ago I was asked to be a guest speaker at a Woman’s Retreat and the theme of the event was the “Seasons of our Lives.” It did not take me more than a minute to say yes, “I would love to do it” and to talk about the spring of my life.

Interestingly enough I do not think of a person’s season as the chronological age of a person, but the season God has given us in our spiritual walk. As I follow God and Jesus Christ I am in the spring, because I am one of the “farmers”. I truly enjoy planting seeds, watering and nurturing someone’s faith.

As we pray and learn about ourselves our personal relationship with God develops as we begin to understand what our Lord expects from us. We all have a purpose and God has the plan, however without a loving and growing relationship we will not understand what God has intended.

We do not need all the facts, information or a blueprint…all that is needed is the closeness with God and trust. God implanted on my heart to teach (plant), to give information (water) and to encourage (nurture) about faith and the love of Jesus Christ.

It is a heartwarming and gratifying feeling to know that I am doing what God wants from me. At a very young age I knew I was going to be a teacher, what I did not know was I would be teaching from my heart about our loving and gracious God.

John 5:24 “I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemmed; he has crossed over from death to life.”

What joy we receive when we walk the path God has forged; what satisfaction is felt when receiving God’s blessings; what a rewarding life we live when knowing the love of Jesus.
