Seasons of Change

So I was sitting in church Sunday and I had this revelation . An epiphany.Like the 4 seasons . They come and go. There is a sign that they are either coming or going. Each one has specific characteristics. For winter its snow and for summer its heat. Just like the earth , life has seasons too .In life our seasons have signs too. It's just that some choose to recognize them and others ignore the signs . The hardest thing one can do is force yourself to leave one season and enter another. Upon graduating from college I have found myself struggling to leave college right where its at . Its so hard to leave something familiar for the unknown. However, I have acknowledged that my time is up. That its time to move onto the next season in my life and harvest the great things that are in store for me. Why linger in a season of things that are old...and prepare for a season with things that are fresh and new. Another side of seasons I thought about was relationships. Ever wandered why a friendship/relationship didn't manifest like you wanted it to? Maybe its because you two are in different seasons of your life. Once, I really sat down and thought about this. My entire perception changed. People are like fruits and vegetables . If you try and pick the fruits and vegetables prematurely. It will be deformed. It wont taste right. It will be discolored. It simply wasn't ready for harvest. On the other hand, if you allow that fruit or vegetable to ripen. You will reap a good harvest. It will not only be plentiful . But will have a rich flavor. Nothing in life should be forced if its not in the right season. Some relationships and acquaintances need to be released in order for you to reap the full benefits. Let it go...so it can GROW. Seasons are symbolic in so many areas. Some seasons are good and some are bad. Some seasons have famine and some have harvest. Some seasons cause pain and some cause happiness. Some seasons add relationships and some seasons subtract them. As soon as you begin to recognize what season you are in, your life you will get a clear vision of where you are. Don't involve yourself in relationships and ventures that are out of season. You always be disappointed. In the mist of changing seasons. Patience is a virtue.
