Each morning as I sit in my special place to meet with Jesus I hoped to find something new in Him. Im bundled up with a soft blanket, coffee in hand, feet tucked behind me in my wicker chair. Listening to the sights and sounds of His creation is soothing to my soul.
We have the privilege of living in the outskirts of the city so it wasn’t unusual to see so much of Gods creation all around me. But this is particular morning I was fascinated by a family of bluebirds. We have two bluebird houses in our backyard but for the first time in years a family decided our home was their home. Five sweet little bluebird eggs lay in the nest.
I’ve heard when a Cardnal lands in your yard it’s a visit from a loved one who has passed away. It got my curiosity up to research a bluebird and its meaning.
I wanted to know more about our new neighbors….I had no idea how accurate a bluebirds meaning was in sink with my life and the season I was currently in!
Bluebirds are an important message from Angels. I was told in my research that when a bluebird appears in your life we should pay attention and to what it has to say to our heart. Here are some interesting things I found about the bluebird…
A bluebird is a symbol of joy and happiness and when it appears it is a reminder of all the beauty and nature around me. Colossians 1:14 ….for in Him all things were created…..
Bluebirds are also a symbol of something good is about to come in your life.
This next one kind of blew me away only because I was coming out of a season of darkness wondering if I had taken the right steps in my life. If the bluebird appears in your life often it could possibly be your spirit animal and “it is telling you that something you’ve done is the right thing and you shouldn’t worry.” It went on to say that Bluebirds can appear in your dreams as well as in person and if so its a symbol that your difficult situation is almost over.
Let me be clear I’m not sure about spirit animals or even what dreams mean sometimes but I do know my God created all things. He even mentions in His word how He takes care of the sparrow. Psalms 84:3 Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young at a place near your altar….
God was using that family of bluebirds to speak to my heart that day. Many times when we are stepping out of the valley we want to look back. I have questioned my past mistakes which lead to a downward spiral of aniexty and depression. The enemy wanted to remind me daily of my worthlessness and mistakes.
BUT GOD, He wanted me to know just how much I’m loved even when I make mistakes. He’s power rose up in me that day letting me know He was near my alter.
One last fact I’d like to share with you about the bluebird ……even though it is uncertain if bluebirds mate for life, when the time comes for the female bluebird to make her nest the father (mate) stands over the nest and flaps his wings in order to protect any predators from harming the nest. He becomes the great protector only to leave his mate to provide food for her as she sits on her eggs. What a great reminder of who God is and how he provides and protects!
Isaiah 40:11 He will feed his flock like a Sheppard. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.
Isaiah 41:31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.
I got to witness this first hand that day God used the beautiful bluebirds to display His beautiful story of redemption in my life.
