When the Grass Turns Green
When I was a little girl, I asked my mom and dad when my birthday was, and my dad said, “In the spring, when the grass turns green.” How I looked forward to spring and the renewed color of the grass in our yard and pastures!
Our heavenly Father gives us hope with a picture of grass, but one that comes with an eternal promise. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters … I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:2, 6). The certain hope of heaven, won for us by our risen Redeemer, is for all!
