Nothing goes to waste with God. Just like there are 4 seasons, Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer in a year, so also things happen in seasons in our lives.
Autumn is where we make an inventory of ourselves and shed the old and unwanted things in our lives.
Winter is where nothing much seems to be happening on the outside but in fact, lots is happening on the inside - strengthening, consolidating of growth and deepening. There is a quiet sense of hope.
Spring is where we see new shoots grow, new things begin to happen and sprout. The signs of life is manifested in the activities and colours in our days. Hope is actualised.
Summer is where things are in full bloom and working at its best capacity. There is a sense of fulfilment and achievement. We reap what we have been sowing the last 3 seasons.
Then the cycle repeats itself, adding richness and depth to our lives with each cycle.
We sow the seeds in our lives by putting in effort towards a future goal. We water them and protect them from dying but it's God grace that ultimately gives the increase because He is ultimately in control of all things. It's the principle of sowing and reaping.
