Icicles on Branches

I have been fascinated by the icicles which are forming on our tree in the back. Truth be told I don't think icicles are a good sign because it means that your roof isn't insulated and ventilated properly, but they look cool anyways. Our icicles form on the branches our tree encasing all they come in contact with.
I was thinking that this is sort of like how we are before we meet Jesus. We all were stuck in an eternal winter, not unlike the one C.S. Lewis describes in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Here we sit trapped, unable to live life the way it is meant to be lived.
But for some strange reason God has chosen to unthaw us, to warm us with the light of His Son, Jesus. We didn't know we needed to be unthawed, we didn't even ask to be, but God does it just the same.
One day the life that is in these little buds will burst out and enjoy it's life on the tree, the same as we burst out into the new life God has given us, no longer to be trapped inside an icicle.

The End
