I enjoy the beauty of fresh flowers. I am amazed by the variety colors, the depth of the hue and the shape of the petals and buds. God did a terrific job!
Sunflowers. Lilies. Hollyhocks. Roses. Geraniums. Daisies. Chrysanthemums. Tulips. Gardenias.
In the grand scheme of things our lives are a lot like flowers. We’re here ever so briefly. My question is – will my life bring beauty and joy to others as a flower does or will others be pricked by the thorns that my life may produce. Today, I’m choosing to bring beauty; letting the love of my heavenly Father shine through me to others. Loving unconditionally, helping those who are hurting and lifting up those who have fallen.
We’ve all heard the saying bloom where you are planted. Not a scripture verse but a good instruction. God has placed beauty within us and we need to blossom so that others will see Jesus in us.
“How great is God’s love for all who worship him? Greater than the distance between heaven and earth! 12 How far has the Lord taken our sins from us? Farther than the distance from east to west! 13 Just as parents are kind to their children, the Lord is kind to all who worship him 14 because he knows we are made of dust. 15 We humans are like grass or wild flowers that quickly bloom. 16 But a scorching wind blows, and they quickly wither to be forever forgotten. 17 The Lord is always kind to those who worship him, and he keeps his promises to their descendants 18 who faithfully obey him.” Psalm 103:11-18 CEV
Thank you Lord for your kindness. I desire to blossom with your love today.
