“This is the LORD’s sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised.” – Isaiah 38:7

Spring time is filled with surprises.  Pushing through dead leaves, a green sprout appears and shortly there after a flower bursts into bloom.  Beauty, art, fragrance, and vitality all thriving in all sun.

The promises of God are like flower seeds ready to shine forth in our lives.  The seeds must be planted in our souls and nurtured by the Spirit.  With faith the sprout breaks through the hardened ground to display the splendor of God’s riches toward us.

This is the process of assurance.  The confidence that God’s word is true and his promise can be trusted.  What flowers do you have that are blooming?  HEre are some very beautiful flowers.

The assurance of God’s love:
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 8:38-39

The assurance of God’s rest:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

The assurance of God’s mercy:
“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.  And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” – 1 Corinthians 10:13

The assurance of God’s daily grace:
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;” – Psalms 91:11

The assurance of God’s strength:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9

The assurance of peace:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” – John 14:27
