How The Seasons Draw Us Closer to God
Life with Gwen and Joe • 13m
Fall is a beautiful time of year—the colors, the temperatures dropping, the outdoor activities—but there is a deeper significance to all the changes that happen as the seasons transition. From a green, vibrant summer to an autumn where leaves dry up and drop from the trees, the symbolism of dying means so much and adds a layer of depth to every activity! Every day is an opportunity for us to die to our selfish wants and our stubborn wills…so that we are ready to face God with no worries about our own life, but only focused on the Will and the Gospel of God Almighty! Join Gwen and Joe as they contemplate the beauty that God shows us every year as we witness autumn’s physical representation of death. The falling leaves actually prepare the earth for new life when spring comes around again, which is truly incredible! The Creator of all things uses His beautiful creation of falling leaves to draw us closer to Him—everything about this amazing time of year is actually a chance to reflect on the amazing concept of dying to self so that we might live forever with Him! We can all accept this death to our selfish nature, just as the leaves and the trees accept what God has ordained! Gwen and Joe beautifully discuss how this principle applies to so many areas of life, including our relationships. Watch and listen, and get ready to see God’s beautiful fall season with an amazing new perspective!
