into your life. But with the breaking forth of a new season comes the pruning process of getting rid of the junk that has built up out of our lives. While studying the scripture of the Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs), in chapter 2:12, I discovered that the Hebrew word for pruning is a homonym that can also mean singing. I love this because it gave me a beautiful visual of Him singing love songs to me, and as He sings over me, dirt and decay begin to fall off and what remains is beautiful fragrant blooms bursting forth all around me. If I listen to the resonance in His voice, it will lead me to my purpose, and guide me to His perfect plans for my life. It shows me that I am not alone and that He surrounds me daily in all my hopes and dreams. I am so thankful that we serve a God that loves us so deeply. I am so thankful that we have a savior that longs for relationship with each and every one of us. I am so thankful that the creator of the universe cares about me – little ole’ me and all my flaws and quirks – and that He not only just cares, but He delights in who I am and how I was designed by Him. If you are struggling today with knowing you are loved, close your eyes and just see God, whatever the version of what God looks like to you. Maybe He’s a white-haired, white bearded figure, or maybe you see Jesus from the famous portraits painted of Him? However you see Him, just get a picture of Him in your mind. Now, see Him smiling at you. See Him singing over you. As you sit with Papa God and see Him smiling at you, ask Him to speak to you in your very own unique way, maybe through a song, a word, a picture, or maybe through a scripture. God loves you so much and wants to lavish you with His love every day. It is my prayer that as you enter into your new season that you will know, without a shadow of doubt, that no matter what is going on around you, that the love of our Father for you is great, and you can trust Him with your heart, soul and mind.
