Change and Autumn

 Yesterday we drove a long way to a church in another town, and we saw so many beautiful colors along the way.

The beauty of autumn colors comes with a lot of loss. The trees lose their leaves. But amongst the loss is the beauty of the colors.

And when there is change in our lives, there is loss of some kind. But there is also beauty. The beauty of God's unchanging faithfulness. The beauty of God's promises. The beauty of God's provision. The beauty of God's comfort. The beauty of the good that God brings from loss.

When you have loss, remember autumn. Ask God to open your eyes to the beauty and focus on that, rather than the loss!

"But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive."~ Joseph to his brothers.
