+ Trust Me now, My love...in the gray and cold...where earth is holding its breath, waiting for the sun...waiting for life to burst forth once more. It is silent. The birds wait to sing. They wait for the new rains...for the emerging life. All creation bows to My perfect plan. All creation waits for My "yes" to echo forth across the fields. So you, My little one, as you wait, My heart wants you to sing now in anticipation. I want to see your upturned face...your heart full of expectancy, despite the cold and gray. I want to know that your trust is relentless, like My love...that you truly do know Me in the deepest regions of your heart...that underneath the frozen crust of your unfulfilled hopes, you know, that your Redeemer lives. Your heart belongs to me. Your heart refuses to doubt that My resurrection is SURE and that it covers over every detail of your life, just like the snow softly covers the ground outside your window. The Truth, My love, is this irrevocable fact: I will never leave you or forsake you. Even when you feel at a loss- disoriented - alone in your sadness - I AM is right here with you...holding your life together...preparing a million flowers to come to your land. This faithfulness is what all creation knows...what you must choose to believe. Look up, My love. See. Your Savior is ever coming to you with redemption and reward (His hard-fought reward) in His hands. Nothing - no darkness, no cold, no sense of feeling lost - NOTHING can come between you and Me. This is the secret that is whispered from star to star - from field to field- by the dazzling work of My Father's hand. God - Your God - your loving Father, Who sees everything about you and cherishes you every moment - God is LOVE. This is the message that is hidden in all the barren fields and bare branches. God is LOVE and His love is ever coming to you...ready...available...wooing you...reaching out to you... protecting you ... healing you...saving you from feeling lost and frozen. Oh no, My love...that's the last thing you are! You are His beloved chosen one. He woos you as His bride and declares that you are eternally, completely His. So, be still My love..as the waiting earth silently receives the blanket of white. Believe that green, green Hope awaits. Your joy will be abundant and full. That's the only measure your Father knows.
