Savor the New

I bless you to see and savor the new.

I might have liked it if God

Had made daffodils to bloom year round.

I might prefer the dogwoods

To display their pink and ivory unceasingly.

But the Creator crafted a world of seasons.

It isn’t always spring,

But spring is always in God’s heart.

He wove His passion for resurrection

Into the visible world.

He is the One seated on the throne

Who declares:

I am making all things new! (Rev. 21:5)

You can count on it as much as you can

Count on spring.

God loves to make things anew.

And that includes you.
