I am Laying in my be this morning listening to the sound of the dew that has settled on my roof overnight running down the valleys in the roofing iron then dripping to the ground tells me that we are only days away from a new season, Autumn is beckoning at my door.
Autumn, my most favourite season of all, cooler mornings making way to lovely sunny days, magnificent changes in the foliage of the trees, the colours of Autumn are so beautiful I cant help but see Gods hand in the creation of this world.
The leaves on the trees have served their purpose well over the summer providing us with much needed refuge from the biting summer sun but it is time for them to change their colours and fall to the round to make way for the new growth, the buds to form that in Spring will open up to beautiful soft glossy new foliage.
It causes me to think how so to we can look at the coming change in season to allow God to do some gardening on our hearts, If we allow him to he will remove the wilting dying leaves that have served their purpose to protect our heats from times of hurt or just being caught up in the merry go round of life.
We need to allow those leaves to fall to the ground so that we are bare again before our God and he will Begin an amazing work in us that will bring forth new growth . God the awesome master potter of each and every one of us will work on our hearts , soften them and mould them into something beautiful that will open to the most magnificent display of new leaves even better that the ones we have covered ourselves with in the past.
Jeremiah 29: 11-13 “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Gods glory will shine from this new growth for his purposes and the people around us will see that only God can bring about such change in us as too with the Autumn leaves, Only God can create such amazing colour and change and living transformation.

Psalm 37:4-11 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
