Like you and me, this orchid plant looks quite ordinary in it's "pre-blooming" state. No frills. Even a little unsightly and ragged-looking. But, this seemingly ordinary part of creation soon unveils it's quite extra-ordinary purpose with help from the sun, air and water. In similar ways, we must have the Son to live. Without Him, we cannot bear fruit in our lives, or display the beautiful destiny we were created for.
"Whoever has the Son has life..." 1 John 5:12
Go reach for the SON today!
Thank you for this message! It was definitely what I needed as a balm to my hurting spirit.
ReplyDeleteNo problem! As I take up gardening, it is opening up my mind and heart to a new understanding about how the Creation declares God's glory - and how much more I could follow the example of a simple flower turning towards and reaching for the sun. It is simple, but profound. Glad that it spoke to you!
