God's winds of change are not to be feared. But to be embraced with anticipation and expectation. For God loves me and any winds of change He brings is for my good. It may hurt for a night but joy comes in the morning. Along with new strength, growth, and more.

Let The Winds Blow

I will no longer fear Your winds of change.

I will gladly open my heart for You to rearrange.

When Your wind blows and there is pain.

I will bless You and in You remain.

So let Your winds howl.

Before You I will bow.

I will bow closer that I may hear Your voice.

I will bow upon my knees and pray Your will to be my choice.

When Your cleansing wind is done.

I will give thanks for battles won.

Windy

Yesterday we had some very strong winds. The winds tore down a school sign, cleaned lots of branches out of trees, caused electricity to flicker on an off and  loudly howled a lot. It also blew about lots of pollen and dust that was hard on allergy sufferers. Today all is sunny and calm as if the winds had never came. The trees around here are better off  because of yesterdays winds. God cleaned out their dead branches that would have been hard for man to reach. This is good in a way for the allergy sufferers too. Because God knocked a lot of the pollen out of the trees. Pollen that had been steadily blowing around in the air with each little breeze. Some times God sends big winds of change in my life. At the time that it is blowing I only see that turmoil it causes. And afterwards some times I see the benefits it brought. When God's wind of change blows in my life I find out if my roots are deep enough in Him to keep me standing. When God's wind blows it cleans out a lot of  stuff that I have acquired spiritually, physically, and mentally that is not of Him. He blows the chaff  out of my life. When His wind blows I see if  the light He has placed in me will flicker or will it burn strong.  And if  in times of trouble will I stay connected to my source. It also shows me, if  the loud howling winds of change will frighten me or keep me from hearing God. When God's winds of change are blowing in my life it affects others too. Lots of times it makes me more aware of  how I treat others when I am facing turmoil. Then when all the blowing (change) is over all is sunny and calm as if it had never happened. Except now I am improved by God and ready to grow, get stronger, and wait for the next big wind of change.

But we all, with unveiled faces, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18, As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness. Psalm 17:15
