True Colors

It’s mid-October and the trees are quickly turning yellow and orange, red and brown. Although several factors combine to create this beautiful end-of-season display—like trapped glucose or waste products—the leaves’ true colors have been there all along, hidden behind the bright green chlorophyll. I can’t help but wonder if we, too, reveal our true colors as we age. When the beauty of youth drains away, we’re left with a wrinkled palette that can no longer conceal the attitude of mind and the direction of the heart. Will resentments and long-held grudges appear like blots and holes in our countenance, or will joy and peace—those over-used but under-experienced qualities—enable us to shine with the certainty that when the time comes to let go of the branch and drift to the ground, all of Heaven’s promises will be proven true?
