For the past 15 years I have lived on a small farm on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, and during this time, I have become much more observant of nature. Spring is on the way, and what do we see? The trees dropping their leaves (which are green year-round where I live) as they do when shaken by the wind at the end of winter. Then a new cycle begins: the trees are filled with buds, which then blossom into lush flowers and leaves.
The Scriptures say, “Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth” (Psalms 104:30). In divine Spirit everything is constantly renewed; there is nothing stagnant or outdated in God’s creation.
This brings to mind a healing I experienced a few years ago. For a month I suffered from frequent nosebleeds. They occurred almost every day, at least once. I mentioned to my wife what I was going through, and, out of concern, she suggested I seek medical help.
