Winds of Change

I've always associated wind with the presence of God and change. Lately Denver has become the new Chicago with high winds every day this week. I have grown accustomed to going on 2 or 3 walks a day along the river this Spring and every time it has been tainted by the amount of gnats that cluster around my face.

In my talks with God I've related all those gnats to the muck in my life, longing to get out of it. Today as I was walking, I noticed something about the wind. It drove the gnats away from my face. While God has given each of us the ability to walk into and through the wind, those gnats don't stand a chance.

How beautiful a picture of God's grace and love.
