Do you have a favorite season? If so, which one is your favorite? If not, what do you like about all of them? Seasons give us opportunities to enjoy the creativity of God. We recently transitioned from a season of lights, lavish decorations, and well-meaning resolutions to a new season of brisk weather, goal-driven lifestyles (either long-term or short-term), spring cleaning, and more time spent outside. Now that we are a few weeks into the new season, how are you spending your time?
With the change of seasons comes change in the way we lead our lives. Not only do we experience changing weather, but we also experience changing paces of life.
This also occurs in relationship with God. In your relationship with God, what do you notice about the season you are currently in? How does it affect the way you live? In each season of your relationship with God, it's good to do a "spring cleaning" of sorts. Take inventory of the things that encourage you this season. Also list out the things that cause you discomfort or even pain in this season. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What is God trying to teach me in this season?
- Give this season a title or a caption.
- What do I like most about this season?
Least?
- How am I growing from this season?
- What do I want the most out of this season?
