Fall is upon us. The trees are about to display their ability to embrace change. They begin to release the leaves that they wore in the previous season. The trees have the Grace to let go and keep standing. For they know from experience that it's only when you release what was that you have room to embrace what is to come.
What about you? Have you received the Grace to release the things that you've held in previous seasons that don't fit anymore?
Do you have hope of what is to come? Truly, our life has seasons, and with every season, we are faced with change. As we behold the beauty of change all around us during this season of fall, let us take a look within and see the changes that have taken place within us. The change in the fall creates a doorway for the next season to come.
Make the changes necessary to keep moving forward. It's only in a secure relationship with JESUS that we find the Grace to change with the seasons of life. Fall in Love with JESUS HE never leaves!

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
