Fall. My favorite season of the year. Cooler weather. College football. And of course, the beautiful scenery. Nothing compares to the rich colors of Fall. The leaves change into the most beautiful colors & give us yet another reason to worship our creator.
A college professor of mine, Dr. Ron Habermas, stated his take on Fall like this: "Only can God take something dead & make it more beautiful than when it was alive."
God takes this season & makes the leaves so much more beautiful than when they were full of life. And I think there's a huge spiritual implication within that thought: God takes us dead in our sin & makes us beautifully alive!
You see, we are dead in sin. We stand no chance. Have no hope. But God demonstrates His love for us by sending His one & only Son to die for our sins. And when we accept the salvation & life He offers, He makes us beautiful. When we choose to die to our sin, He takes away our sin. He makes us clean. Gives us hope. Gives us life.
Death brings beauty. And ONLY God can take something dead & make it more beautiful.
