Mercy Blooms in Winter | Feb. 27th

“His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

   Lamentations 3:23

  Surrounded by snow from the recent blizzard, the Witch-hazel tree stood with its yellow flowers in vivid display. This striking sight offers hope, particularly to those fatigued by winter's persistence. Life's seasons can often feel relentless. External and internal conflicts burden the mind and exhaust the soul. Without the mercy of God, one might lose heart.

  This Witch-hazel tree, though bare of leaves, was adorned with a small burst of flowers. It was a welcome sight on a day already burdened with cares. Winters and difficult times will come, but they end, while God's mercy endures. His mercies brighten the day, encourage the heart, and renew the soul.

  Beloved, look to the Lord today. Seek Him in scripture and in prayer. Bring your worries to the One who knows all and whose mercy never ends. God's faithfulness is truly great. He is with you now, and even in your winter, you will find the never-ending blooms of mercy.

In Christ Alone.
