I awoke this morning to a sea of color
swaying in the wind
outside my bedroom window.
Just a few months ago,
when it was still Spring,
I thought to myself...
"His favorite color must be green!"
But, now I look out into the sea of
reds and oranges and yellows
Indeed, I may have been mistaken...
He always loves to surprise me, you know.
Maybe such blissful extravagance on His part
is to teach me more about His heart.
Because, you know, just a few months more,
the trees will be barren and starting over.
He will begin the process again,
as a Vine with a Branch.
Ever so faithfully, ever so true...
He'll prune them and make them new.
So it is with You and I here.
As a Vine is to a branch,
or a tree is to a leaf,
may I give You all I am.
Jesus, be my Everything.
