A reflection of Him

Lamentations 3:22-23
English Standard Version (ESV)
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23
The Message (MSG)
22-24God's loyal love couldn't have run out,
his merciful love couldn't have dried up.
They're created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He's all I've got left.


"My beloved speaks and says to me:
“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away,
for behold, the winter is past;
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
The fig tree ripens its figs,
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away."
Song of Solomon 2:10-13

I love the freshly fallen snow. Especially when you don't know it's going to snow and you wake up to the newness. For me Snow is such a reminder of what God does for us. He takes away the ugly and replaces it with newness, freshness, and pureness over and over again. Because His love never runs out.
I also love Spring, the newness, the growth, the fresh smells of the flowers blooming. It is also a reflection of what God does for us. After He cleanses us we have the chance to bloom and grow in Him.
