There is beyond the winter
beauty beneath the snow
like a shivering bulb
we know there is spring
we cannot see its bud
nor force its opening
the sun alone
can entice the bloom
there is a beauty beyond winter
we will shed this life’s pain
perfect magnificence
is held in secret
an eternal spring
will one day
open its gates to the sun
beckoning us home
“But it is written ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him…’”
1 Corinthians 2:9
We can neither see nor imagine the beauty of the place that God has fashioned for us. But we can on the weariest of days take comfort in the knowledge that such a place lies in wait just as the bulb that waits to open its face come spring. As you anticipate the warmth and beauty of spring, soak in the hope of Heaven!
