I was observing our tall maple trees after our snowstorm and I noticed that one side of the tree had snow resting on its branches, but snow had not landed on the trunk facing the other side.
For a minute I thought I could deduce the direction the storm came from (the side that held the snow on its branches), until, duh, I realized that the trunk had nothing in its makeup for the snow to rest on.
I started thinking about how we are perfectly designed, like the branches, to receive whatever God offers.
I'm sure if I thought this through more, I would be able to see that the snow on the branches adds beauty to the tree, as God makes our life beautiful as well.
And the still snow is a reminder of the activity that has taken place--even when we are at rest or not paying attention--deep within our hearts.
God is always pouring out his love on us. The Holy Spirit is always active in our lives, even when we don't perceive it.
Where have you seen evidence of the Holy Spirit working in your life?
