Cultivating fruitfulness: seasons

Lord, please help me to recognise the season I am in and align with it.

None of us expect trees to produce fruit in the middle of winter. God has built seasons into the rhythms of this world. Similarly, there are different seasons in our spiritual growth. Spring is a time of awakening and new possibilities. Summer is a time of growth and fruitfulness, but also weeds. Autumn is a time of harvest, celebration, and cutting back. And winter is a time of apparent barrenness and potential storms – but it’s also when our roots can strengthen and develop. What indicators in your life suggest the season you’re currently in?
