SEASONS OF LOVE ( Romans 5:6-8 )
"Flowers don’t have to be in bloom to be beautiful, says famed landscape designer Piet Oudolf. Even in the dead of winter, the Dutch gardener’s award-winning designs are known for their stunning appeal. “Beauty is in so many things you wouldn’t think of,” Oudolf says, although some may disagree. “The moment you say I love plants that are dead [dormant],” he said, “then you have a problem because people don’t like dead plants.”
Oudolf’s appreciation of plants’ life cycles echoes a core spiritual principle: While we were dead in our sins, God still loved us. “You see,” explained the apostle Paul, “at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6). Paul continued, “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (v. 8).
Jesus chose disciples with flaws. He ate meals with known sinners. He healed outcasts. Oudolf, likewise, is “interested in plants not only for their flowers, but also for their personality”—seeing beauty “in things that, on first sight, are not beautiful.”
As bearers of God’s image, we show Him to the world in how we relate to Him and each other. Planted in His love, we’re anointed by our Father to bloom anew in Him—once-dead sinners showing His beauty to a world longing for a glimpse of Him.”

Seasons of Love
God’s love blooms in us — even in our most dormant seasons
📝 MEMORY VERSE
“At just the right time … Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:6–8 | Read: Romans 5:1–11
📖 BIBLE IN A YEAR Old Testament: Ezra 1–2 | New Testament: John 19:23–42
📖 Old Covenant — Ezra 1–2
Theme: Cyrus’ Decree — God Restores His People Home
In the opening of Ezra, Every person whose spirit God stirs rises up to return — with silver, gold, and freewill offerings. Even the sacred vessels Nebuchadnezzar had seized from God’s house are returned. What man had taken, God restores. The season of exile ends — a new season of rebuilding begins.
✝️ New Covenant — John 19:23–42
Theme: It Is Finished — The Cross, the Garden & the Burial
At the cross, soldiers cast lots for Jesus’ seamless robe — fulfilling Scripture exactly. Jesus entrusts His mother to the beloved disciple in a final act of love. Then, knowing all is accomplished, He says: “I thirst.” He receives sour wine and declares with finality: “It is finished.” He bows His head and gives up His spirit. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus — once a secret follower, now openly bold.

Our Daily Bread — Patricia Raybon | June 12, 2026
Flowers don’t have to be in bloom to be beautiful. That’s the conviction of celebrated Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf, whose award-winning gardens are stunning even in the dead of winter. “Beauty is in so many things you wouldn’t think of,” he says. Oudolf is drawn to plants not just for their flowers, but for their whole personality — seeing something worth loving even in what the world would call dead.
This echoes a profound spiritual truth: while we were still powerless — dormant in our sins — God loved us. As Paul wrote, “At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6). God didn’t wait for us to bloom. He loved us in our winter.
Jesus chose flawed disciples. He ate with known sinners. He healed the outcasts whom others dismissed as beyond beauty or worth. Planted in His love, we are anointed to bloom anew — once-dormant souls now reflecting His beauty to a world longing for a glimpse of Him. Every season of your life — even the hardest, the driest, the most broken — is a season in which God’s love is at work.
💡 REFLECT & PRAY
In what season of your life did God call you? Was it a season of failure, of grief, of wandering — a spiritual winter when you felt dormant and forgotten? God saw beauty in you then. He sees it now.
How can you spiritually bloom today so that others can see His image in you? Who around you needs to see that God loves people in their most dormant, broken season?
🙏 PRAYER
Lord Jesus, You called me when I was dead in my sins — when I had nothing to offer, nothing to bloom. Thank You for loving me in my winter. Thank You that “at just the right time” You came for me. Now plant me in Your love and make me bloom in every season, so that others may see Your beauty through my life. Let me never forget that my worth comes not from my flourishing, but from Yours. In Your faithful name, Amen.

“…God moves the heart of Cyrus, king of Persia, to send the exiled Israelites home. A pagan emperor becomes God’s tools of restoration... Ezra 3-5. [Jesus] body in spices and linen and lay Him in a new garden tomb. It looks like winter. It feels like the end. But God is not finished..." John 20.
