The Winter of Life
Life carries us through many changes, some good and some bad
But every change is a chance to grow to realms of spiritual maturity that humanly,
we could not know
Life takes us through seasons of change-
Through summers, winters and springs.
The Winter of Life can be barren and dry, but God is still yet by our side-
Taking us through the seasons of change and helping us remain strong, able to
bear the pressure that we may retain a sound mind.
The Winter of Life can be cold and still, frozen it seems by circumstances that
disguise themselves as unbearably real, making our sight unfocused on the
claim for victory.
The Winter of Life makes us wonder if we will ever overcome the stillness and
uncertainty that sometimes short circuits our faith, causing us to linger on in the
wilderness of despair.
The Winter of Life seems to have no end; just does not want to go away;
But just as sure as you were born and night turns into day, the Winter of Life will
soon be gone.
And all that is left will be a fleeting memory of what once was-
As you rise above in power to live in summers and springs throughout Eternity.
