God’s intricate beauty and poetic nature are intelligently demonstrated throughout the Bible. Jesus used parables of nature and the seasons to relate heavenly concepts to an earthly audience. These parables are still significant in our lives today because we live on an earth filled with the glory of nature. When we observe nature in the light of His teaching, we can catch and feel the depths of His heavenly messages to us. As we soon celebrate the first day of spring, may we understand His love, plan, and thoughts towards us more deeply.
Winter and Spring
Winter symbolizes death, stillness, and things that may be in hibernation but growing outside of what our eyes can see. However, Spring is a glorious representation of new life. Within one season, we can see tender shoots rising, buds blooming, and birds building nests and hatching their chicks. Spring speaks of life. When we give God our lives, we experience a spring of the soul, no matter what time of year it is or how grey the sky might be.
