June Devotional
It's June! The lovely month of June ... the month
of brides and graduations ... of honeysuckle and sunshine.
This is the month that I wait for all year long -
not just because of the weather but also because of
the promise.
When I look out my back window at the green grass,
the lilacs growing in my neighbor's yard and at my
brightly colored hanging flower baskets, I am reminded
that He really does make all things new.
It seems like only yesterday that I looked out and
saw the stark and lifeless scene of winter. Who in
the world could change the mud of March into the beauty
of June? Into my aforementioned cold and still world
comes the singing of birds, the sunny faces of marigolds
and the certainty of another bountiful garden.
I don't know what your life looks like this month,
but I can guarantee you that God really does have
the power and the desire to make all things new in
your life - just like in my yard. Only God can take
the dreariness of your life - and shine His love into
it. He can deal with the weeds of disappointment and
miraculously make room for the growth of promise and
purpose.
What is it in your life that needs new breath? A new
touch? New life? Is it your marriage ... your parenting
skills ... your checkbook? Spend time with God Who oversees
your life with such spectacular care and you will
soon be reminded that He really does make all things
new!
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation. The old things have passed away - behold,
new things have come!"
- II Corinthians 5:17
