My favorite flower: a Rose. Beautiful, from a tight center, unfolding around and opening up. With a nice fragrant. Like our lives, knit together tightly, unfolding from our center-core: our souls. Will it bloom in full? Or is it moldy and rot away… If we don’t take care of our sins, our lives will never bloom.
The comparison I would like to show is the following passage; Romans 14: 7-9
‘For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.’
You see, every breath, every choice, every move we’ve been granted by God. Though, each of these things have impact on the unfolding of a flower; our lives… Jesus went through Hell for us, to release and save us from our sins. If only we believe, if only we ask for forgiveness. God plants the seed in our heart, though we have to care for it and make it grow.
I love picking flowers, always have. – Jesus died for us, He loves us, He wants to gather His followers. One day, when all together – and only God knows when – What a beautiful assembly that will be! A true march of freedom! No more worries, no more pressures, no more tears…
We like this saying: ‘The more, the merrier.’ Isn’t that the love our Trinity God has toward us as well? These days it seems like this physical distancing does not make that possible. Though before God, before Jesus and even the Holy Spirit, there is no need for distance. It’s however close or far we want/let Them be…
God wants us to flower. Yes, we do go through different ‘weather statements’, though He’ll take care of us, even when it’s dark. Jesus went through His darkest hours alone: For us! We are not alone… May we flower strong in our lives, that He may receive back what is His! He knows all, and loves those who love Him!
