You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. Isaiah 62:3
Those skinny white-trunked trees, related to the birches, are aspens. They are so beautiful. In summer, the heart shaped leaves are a lustrous green on top; the underside is a flat grayish green. As the breeze flutters through, the leaves sparkle and shimmer like no other tree. It is so eye-catching!
In autumn, the leaves turn a glorious gold, and when those small trees are massed together all over the face of a mountain, it is breathtaking.
Individually, we are - each one - beautiful, too. We are jewels, created by God, precious, priceless, and irreplaceable. When the breeze of God's Holy Spirit blows on us and through us, we sparkle and shimmer. It, too, is so eye-catching! Sparkling and shimmering - what a great way to effortlessly shine -and share -the love and beauty of God!
If you do not have a personal relationship with Him, seek Him today. Ask Him to send His spirit through you, like the breeze through the aspens. He will.
PRAYER
Lord, please come into my life anew today. Come, Holy Spirit, breathe newness of life into me. Thank you, Lord! In Jesus' name, Amen.
