Blog May, Flowers and Hope

We might expect warm weather by May. Yet warmer temperatures have been slow in arriving this year. Many turned off furnaces when we had a few very warm days, only to turn them on again when the temperatures dipped into the freezing range bringing high winds, rain, and even hail.

Nevertheless, the grass is starting to green, trees are budding, and flowers are hesitantly poking their heads through the ground. I recall one year when cold temperatures kept Spring on hold while cold prevailed.

Then one day, almost by magic everything changed. Temperatures warmed and suddenly, as though waiting for just the right time, the outdoors bloomed with color and enticing smells of flowers and grass and so much more.

That special moment is what happens when we give control of our lives to Jesus. He comes in and everything becomes new. We become new creations in Him. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV

What better time than now to become the beautiful creation God has in mind for those who follow Him?

Poetry Because Jesus Knows My Name

Jesus knows my name.
Among all of creation,
He knows ME.
Formed me to be
Special in my own way.
Placed His seal of approval on
This body,
This spirit,
This mind,
And called it good,
Called it blessed,
Provides all I need to live,
And grow into
The person,
The individual,
He created me to be,
A person He came for,
Lived for,
Died on Calvary for,
And rose again for.
Because He lives He offers me,
Not only forgiveness,
But also salvation, light & life abundantly,
With Him as Lord, Savior,
Friend and Guide.
All I need do is clutch His hand,
Accept His plan created just for me,
By He who knows my name,
Gave me life,
As I ask Him in, I find I
Like the person I am with Him inside, for
In His loving embrace.
I know hope and peace and life
For today, tomorrow & for all eternity.
