Spring, when WILL it arrive? by Gary Rose

Today, on facebook, I saw a sign that said  _ _ _ days until spring. Even though there is no snow in Florida, still the weather has been cold (by Florida standards) and the scenery a dull brown. And then I thought of this picture and concentrated on SPRING- even more!!!

How beautiful this picture is, how lush with the magnificence of flowering plants! And that stream- would it even be possible to top that???

 In a word- YES!!!

 

 Consider....

 Revelation, Chapter 22 (WEB)

  ¹ He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,  ² in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  ³ There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him.  ⁴ They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.  ⁵ There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

Just as the beauty of the stream in the picture is surpassed by the foliage accompanying it, so the water will be by the throne of God and the Lamb. Beyond even that, there will be the joy of seeing God and being blessed by HIM forever.

At this point there are just two more words to say- ETERNAL SPRING!!! 

ps. And I AM COUNTING THE DAYS UNTIL THAT ONE ARRIVES!!!!
