Leaves and Life (Part 3)

This is the time of year when live leaves surrender. They stop fighting to stay lithe and green. Green drifts into red and gold. Orange and amber. A visual reminder that our surrender to God, His purposes and His plans, provides the avenue for Him to work. As each leaf lays down its life and lets go, leaves of all different kinds blanket the ground in a tapestry of fall beauty. As each of us release our own ways and follow Christ's ways, He weaves us into the fabric of His kingdom.
Together we form the Church. Together we serve the outcast. Together we woo the lost. Together we are beautiful if we are together in surrender to Christ.
