Welcome to June; it's the beginning of summer! School is out. Iris and peonies are blooming. Baby birds are testing their wings. The sun is bright and warm. Seeds have sprouted into plants, growing by leaps and bounds and so are the weeds. It is time to sit on the deck and enjoy the singing birds in the trees.
June is a month of weddings and celebrations, reunions and picnics. It is time to open up the pool and jump into the cold water and splash around. There will be swimming lessons and Vacation Bible Schools. Time for family vacations and ice cream cones. Fields change from rows to a mass of solid green.
"In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety. I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord," (Hosea 2:18-20 NIV).
In the scripture above, Hosea shares God's plan to restore the relationship with the Israelites, similar to our marriage relationships. God asks the Israelites to turn from their worship of idols and sinning and come to Him.
God still calls us to a relationship with Jesus Christ. He forgives our sins when we come to Him. Rejoice in the beauty of the month of June and celebrate the life you can live with Him today.
