Spring is my most encouraging season. I love finding the sprouts of life that emerge from the frozen ground each March. Its one of the highlights of my year. It gives me fresh hope of new beginnings. It reminds me of God's faithfulness and the splendors of his rewards. This spring more than ever I think I need to be reminded of God's faithfulness in all things.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
- Thomas Chisholm, 1923
