Queen Lily she is resting
Underneath her frozen bed
While sister Iris covered in snow
Shakes her sleepy head
The daffodils start snoring
While the tulips pray for Spring
And Rose patiently puts on her robe of ice
Till the robin flies home on May’s wings
And the Father of Gardens smiles lovingly down
Through this season of quiet and cold
As we gently wait through our Winter
Till His bloom time comes round for our souls
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me Psalms 23:4 NKJV
It is far sweeter to talk about passing through the valley of the shadow than it is to walk it. But it is also far sweeter to experience God’s presence in the dark valleys than it is to just talk it…
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us Psalms 103:12
Have you ever struggled to forgive someone? I did! First I complained about the offense till God reminded me of my own sins. Ashamed of myself I I did truly forgive. But then came those pesky times when I would see him and then I would turn my head or force a smile. But then one day it struck me that God’s forgiveness worked in quite a different way. He saw my sin, freely forgave and then was delighted every time we met. He has not yet looked away nor forced a smile. Instead He has not only forgotten my offense He has loved me ever since as His dearest friend!
