Spring Is Walking Toward You

Song of Solomon 2:11-12

Lord, my winter has lasted so long that I stopped expecting it to end. I have been staring at the one branch in me that stays bare and dark, sure that spring forgot my name. Thank You that You do not wait for the cold to pass before You come — You walk toward the frozen branch and touch it, and life obeys Your nearness. Reach for the driest place in me. Let me feel that spring is walking toward me, and that the branch You are reaching for is mine. Amen.
