Any way the wind blows…

During one of my quiet times during the week I read this in my daily devotional.

A farmer had a weather vane on his barn, on which was written "God is love." When friends asked why, the farmer said, "This is to remind me that no matter which way the wind blows, God is love."

When the warm south wind with its soothing and balmy breezes brings showers of blessing, God is love. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above" (James 1:17).
When the cold north wind of trial and testing sweeps down upon you, God is love. "All things work together for good to those who love God" (Romans 8:28).
When the west wind blows hard upon you with its punishing intent, God is love. "It's the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects." (Hebrews 12:6).
When the east wind threatens to sweep away all that you have, God is love. "God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory" (Philippians 4:19).

Perhaps you are discouraged and downhearted. If so, remember, God still cares for you. What you are experiencing has either been sent or it has been allowed by Him for your good.
Yes, no matter which way the wind is blowing, God is love.
