New Season, New people, new blessings.
We all go through new seasons in our life. There are new experiences for us to walk in, that the Holy Spirit has prepared for us.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die, A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones, A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing. A time to keep, and a time to throw away, A time to tear and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.
In each stage of our spiritual growth, it will reveal different seasons in our life. Where we will meet new people, new experiences, that we have never encountered before. Circumstances that we never dreamed we would be in, but ,we are ready now, and the Holy Spirit has equipped us to meet the new season, new challenges, in a different way than before. New growth in our walk in the Lord.
Our trials and tests have prepared us for this new season. We have matured enough to meet the challenges.
Like gold that is refined in the fire to be purified,
Where the impurities are brought to the surface, and skimmed off, so it is with us, God heats up our life with trials that cause the impurities to surface and then He scoops them off.
We holler "Lord there is not going to be much left of me", He replies, No, but what is left will be of Me!
The refining fire of the Holy Spirit in our life, will cause the hidden things in our heart to surface. They will come out of our mouth. Out of the heart the mouth speaks.
Colossians 3:1-4
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Beloved, we will fail from time to time, because there are hidden things in our heart that must come to the surface. That is why we need new seasons that will expose those things that keep us from growing in the Lord.
Forgive yourself, forgive others, apologize where needed.
Turn the control over to the Holy spirit. we will fail from time to time, repent quickly and realize Jesus our intercessor has paid for that failure.
Peace will return to your soul.
Beloved, enjoy your new season of life in Jesus, be mindful of every opportunity to share the life of the Lord with others.
Remember that those new people in your life that irritate you, are sandpaper, sanding off your rough edges and like it or not, we all have them.
Even Paul who was trained by Jesus Himself, for three years (Gal 1:12) had to deal with things in his temperament.
Beloved, if you will submit to the Holy Spirit in this new season you find yourself in, you will produce much fruit for the kingdom of God and walk in peace and rest for your soul.
God bless your day and new season
Jesus loves you
Love in Jesus
Joy
