I have been to angry or felt too unworthy or something else to accept this gift from him. <br />So - by refusing, are we saying that Christ does not abide in us?Chris Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165756471868207888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160641686243620828.post-2973430119010280872010-12-27T09:09:50.887-05:002010-12-27T09:09:50.887-05:00Dear Chris

It is a sea...No. Winter is not a season of death. It is a season of putting down roots. <br /><br />The reason fall is the best time to plant practically anything that's expected to last more than one season (trees, perennials, grass, bushes, etc.) is that they need the winter to establish good roots before they begin to grow in the spring. When pants are planted in the spring, the part of the plant that is above ground tends to outgrow the part below ground. You have to baby them all summer long to keep them from getting transplant shock and dying. But if you plant in the fall, the part of the plant above ground stays dormant throughout the winter while root system grows. Then the plant can grow even more in the spring and withstand a dry spell or a harsh winter much more easily. <br /><br />No, winter is definitely not a season of death. It is a season of vigorous growth--we just can't see it from where we stand. And it's just like us to think that just because we don't see something, it's not there. But it is. <br /><br />You say that God has removed his hand. How do you know this to be true? What is it you expect to receive from His hand?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
