Lately I was thinking about gardening. Not that I know much about it. Still I have some knowledge that some plants have to be cut back before winter. For example for roses it is usually left for winter time just really small part and all beauty is cut away. Interesting what rose would think about it. Maybe something like that: “Oh, boy! I have lost everything! No flowers! No beauty! I am ugly and useless!” But when spring is coming this rose will become even more beautiful like it was last year.
I thought how it is applying for my life. It is often that I feel like “dead”. Nothing happening, there seems to be no fruit. But if I am then analysing myself, I am finding that I am going through winter season. I am just cut down that I would be able to bear fruit after the winter.
I personally don’t like winter at all. It is cold, dark and everything seems to be dead. I have suffered many times winter depression and this don’t make it easier either. But I love spring. This is my favourite season. This is usually only thing what helps me go through hard winter – every year spring will come after the winter. I don’t think I would enjoy spring so much, if I wouldn’t need to live through winter. Same way I am waiting spiritual spring to come. I know God is doing something during this time, when I feel “dead”and cut down. This time is really needed, but I am still waiting spring and sun! Both physical and spiritual ones…
