The Springtime Promise

I sit in the stillness of the early morning, in the comfort of my living room, drinking in the beauty of the snow-capped mountains which appear to be just outside my window. Winter is fading...slowly...and every day we see a bit more the promise of Spring. 

The sun is coming over the Eastern horizon now, illuminating the mountains in the West. The new light exposes their unfathomable depth and detail. Creation truly does sing the joy of the Father.

How my heart wants Winter to be replaced by a permanent Spring. How I want the Son to come today, lighting up the darkness and replacing this cold world with warmth and joy. I want Him to expose the beauty of the Earth as we have never seen before. I want to see The Promise fulfilled. I want to see the Kingdom come. I want to see Jesus. 

"Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness."

Psalm 96:11-13
