Leaves and Life (Part 4)

"They make a mess." I'm sure you've heard someone complain about the leaves and their landscaping. And they are right, they do make a mess. But a beautiful mess.
It is tempting to think in life that if something is a mess, God is not at work; if something is hard or inefficient or uncertain that God is not there. And using this reasoning, it's easy to trick ourselves into believing we are free to try and fix it in our own power.
So let us go back and realize that whether the mess is of our own doing or completely out of our control, God is always at work. For this reason, in the middle mess(es) we need to seek God out even more diligently, so we may join in on His plans for our mess.
