AUTUMN REFLECTIONS
by
Ineke Cornish
I love autumn, particularly the changing
colours of the leaves on deciduous trees. I love the harvest time; freshly
picked apples, blackberries, pumpkins etc., the mellow days and cooler
nights.
Autumn
is a transition time; a time to look back in thankfulness on the blessings of
summer, but also a time to prepare for the colder weather which will inevitably
arrive.
Our
Christian walk draws many similarities to the seasons; as they come and go.
Life
is also constantly changing and challenging. We only need to turn on our TV’s to realize our
children are growing up in a much different world to the one we knew. Our
personal circumstances also change – health and physical stamina deteriorate
with age, kids leave home, loved ones pass away…
The one thing, the one Person who NEVER changes
is our loving eternal God. ‘Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday, today and forever’ Hebrews 13:8.
The
God who has been ‘our help in ages past will be our hope for years to come’ It
is only in Him we can confidently and with unshakable faith face the future,
whatever it may bring.
Autumn
is a great time to reflect on your relationship to Jesus Christ, if you have
never made a commitment to Jesus, do so now before it’s too late, before winter
comes.
If
you do know Jesus as your personal Saviour, stay close to Him in this changing
season.
