Spring is Here…..But Are You Blooming?
Now that the weather is changing and spring is here, the flowers are blooming but are you blooming too?
During the winter when the temperature is cold animals hibernate and we kinda do too. During this time there is a lot less movement. During the winter since everything slows down nature is taking the time to reset and regroup. It’s the same with people. The cold deters people from getting out as much and when they are outside they don’t stay out any longer than they have to.
But as soon as it looks like the weather is breaking and its warm outside, even if it’s only for one day, people just like nature spring into bloom. You’ve seen it! On the first warm day folks run outside having shed their winter coats and clothes and run half naked in the streets. We laugh at them for that because those of us who are smart know that winter may not be finished yet.
However, the first sign of spring sparks a fire inside of all of us just like it does with the flowers and the animals. But spring is very revealing. We know that the seeds of our winter will be evident in our spring blooming.
So, the year’s half over. What does you’re blooming show us you’ve been doing all winter? Didn’t you make resolutions at the beginning a year? How many have you kept? How successful has your year been so far? What areas still need work?
This is the time to take and make honest assessments about where you are and how you got here! You still have time to reach all of the goals that you had set for yourself in the beginning of the year. Today is the first day of the rest of your life – starting right now!
Come on! Let’s press forward with purpose on purpose!
Even if things have not gone exactly the way you wanted them to go (isn’t that most of us) God’s word and promises to us have to manifest and show up and I lives. Just read this: Isaiah 55:11 (cev) “that’s how it is with my words. They don’t return to me without doing everything I send them to do.”
No matter if you’ve gotten way off track, God is still proud of you and God still believes in you because He made you on purpose and knows you can do everything He sent you to earth to do! Can you believe in yourself like God believes in you? Never listen to and believe Satan and his demons of doubt, fear, unbelief and uncertainty and the lies they want you to fall for. Always believed God over anything any demon ever says to you. It’s time for you to bloom and bloom well!
You + God = Victory in All Things!
Those of you who have been doing well this year and are still on track and even those who are just a little off track, this is a good time to do some tweaking. Take this time to look at what’s good about what you’re doing and how you’re doing it and ask the Holy Spirit to help you make it great! Then look at what hasn’t been so good, and the part you’ve played in that, and ask the Holy Spirit for assistance in changing those bad things, replacing them with good things.
No matter what position you find yourself in today – good or bad, Amos 9:13 – 15 (msg) has to be our goal, our daily life goal! Here’s what it says: “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree. “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills…Don’t you want to know what that feels like? Don’t you want to have a life where all of your dreams are coming true at the same time? I know I do!
Your life should be the perfect living example of the promises that God has outlined for us in His Word. We get that way over time. We get that way by blooming; blooming well in every season. Just like flowers, we are beautiful and show God’s goodness and His faithfulness.
Philippians 4:13 (amp) says: I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who [a]infuses inner strength into me; I am [b]self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. So remember, You + God = an unstoppable force that was made to overcome anything and everything as you reach full bloom!
