Dew on the Grass

It’s a beautiful spring morning. Come outside with me to enjoy an early morning walk through the fields! Get your boots, because the grass is wet.

The sun sparkles on the grass, shining in each dew drop. Why is the grass wet when the sky is so blue and there is not a cloud to be seen? How did the dew come? Let’s look closely at the grass. Each little dew drop is formed in a special way. The warm spring air was filled with invisible water drops called vapor, and when it touched the cool grass last night it condensed back into water. Have you noticed how a cold glass will feel wet on the outside on a warm day? It is the same thing. Warm air touches the cold surface and drops its load of water, leaving dew drops. Isn’t it beautiful? Now the grass blades will have a morning drink before the sun dries them out again.

I know of a wonderful lesson to learn from the dew. Jesus means for our lives to be like the warm air, filled with his love and kindness. When we meet up with a cold heart, we can drop a blessing on them, like little dew drops. God wants His people to be like “a dew from the LORD” it says in Micah 5:7. How about you? Are you filled up with good things from Jesus, ready to give out to anyone in trouble and need? Are you ready to love the selfish, sad people you meet and give them a smile or a helping hand? I hope so! Jesus wants you to live a life that blesses those around you.
