Seasons of the heart.

It feels like fall inside.

I feel deeply inspired by the changing of seasons. When I opened my window and felt the cold air against my face, I couldn’t help but realize that fall is here. A new season was born; it’s time for transformation. My heart is strongly aware of this change and I am living it out through every emotion, trying to absorb the essence. It’s beautiful when you look outside and notice how the trees are letting go of their leaves and embracing the need of being reborn. I love the way God created the seasons, as a way to make us understand the truth that life is a constant change, an ongoing transition. We tend to get so used to the world around us that we forget to notice it’s beauty. Nature will always tell you a lot about God’s personality; the way He thinks, feels, and does the things that He does. Look closely and you will see God’s imprint on the leaves that gently touch the ground in obedience to His command. It’s so wonderful to see how everything surrounding you responds to our Creator’s voice without any hesitation. The heart goes through it’s own seasons and they are not much different than the seasons we all know. Autumn is a time to let go of anything that holds you back from being the person that God created you to be. So let every leaf of remorse, guilt, and shame fall off from your shoulders as you accept the new life that God is waiting to give to you with arms open wide. God wants to awaken you to a new beginning. Are you ready to embrace it?

Take time to quiet your soul.

Silence is the place where we hear God’s voice.

Yes, silence is an actual place where we choose to go in order to communicate with our Creator. A person who never takes time to travel to this forgotten destination (overlooked by so many people) is one whose heart is never at peace. Quietness is extremely important for your soul. While it seems so impossible for someone to sit quietly in the world we live in today, this task is fairly easy; we practically don’t have to do anything. Why is it so hard to do it then? It’s really disappointing to accept the fact that we’ve completely forgotten one of the most important disciplines that shapes our lives in ways we cannot even imagine. It is in quietness that you hear God speak to you so tenderly and clearly. God expects us to learn how to seek His presence in such a manner. He always waits to meet our hearts in the the deep silence of our soul. Please don’t take nature and everything around you for granted. Take time to look at the beautiful, blue sky and smile. Quietly, study the flowers, the birds, the people around you for we are all so beautifully made. Take time to breathe in the sweet aroma of the air who is so freely given in order for you to sustain life. Let your heart take refuge in the quiet arms of The Loving Father who will never cease to adore you. Your heart matters to Him, that’s why He made all these wonderful creations for you to enjoy. He delights in you and seeks you with a passion no one will ever comprehend. Don’t leave him waiting for you. Next time you find yourself buried in the fast pace of your life, make sure you slow down, bow your knees, and talk to the One whose arms are the safest and truest refuge. Give Him a chance. You will never regret letting God quiet you.
