WITH GOD DURING COVID

A short series of stories from our church family about how God has been with them or speaking to them during 2020.  Cecily shares a reflection entitled ‘Blossom’. as God spoke to her as she looked at the trees.

Blossom

This year, God dressed the tree with as much blossom as he could possibly squeeze in. I saw it when I was out for some daily exercise walking over to Wood Farm.

It was as if he was calling out to me, “Look! I DO love you. I AM a God of love and kindness. I haven’t abandoned you. I care deeply. My heart is bursting with longing. I long to comfort, heal and help you every step of the way. This year, God couldn’t love you more.” 

Despite the encouragement I felt when God spoke to me of his abundant love, a couple of weeks later, when the blossom was falling, I was feeling rather sad again. This time while I was out for my walk I saw this tree and God said, “It’s OK to be sad. Look, I am crying too.”
