Spring. This is such an exciting part of year! The snow melts away revealing the ground, mom's tulips begin to poke up out of the ground, and the goats have their kids. Everything that seemed so dead and still is once again coming to life, displaying many reminders of the Father's care.
This year, one of my goats kidded triplets, but only feeds one of them; and another goat had only one kid. I got this brilliant idea, and covered one of the triplets in blood, and placed her in with the other momma. The momma had no idea that it wasn't her baby, and began to lick her off, accepting it as one of hers. Unfortunately, the triplet had encountered that nanny goat before, so she was too scared to allow the other mom close. So, I still ended up with a "bum" orphan kid.
What an amazing picture! God in His mercy, covered us with Jesus' blood, so that we could be one of His. The only sad part, is often, even after salvation, I don't trust God, or I don't accept His forgiveness and keep on going on my own. Wouldn't it be so much easier to allow God to cover it, and have a close relationship with Him?
This spring, keep in mind: God's Son shed His blood, so we can have fellowship with the Father. Have you accepted Him?
"And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22
