You Are God’s Flower Garden

Along our daily journey we should stop and smell the flowers.  Take a few moments today to think about God’s flower garden. 

Don’t You Just Love Spring?

It’s so refreshing after the cold winter to feel some warmth from the sun and to see plants coming to life again.  I love it.  Don’t you?

Do you notice how quickly a small flower bud opens up into a magnificent blossom?  Every spring I am amazed to see how quickly the little buds pop out of branches, bushes, and the ground.  And then I get excited as within days the buds burst open into leaves, blossoms, and flowers.  Just a little nutrition from the soil, warmth from the sun, and spring rain cause the unfolding of glorious beauty all around us.

Are You God’s Flower Garden?

If you love and follow Jesus, YOU are God’s flower garden.  The living Word of God, spoken into your life, contains everything needed to unfold the glory of God in your life.  Maybe you feel like you’ve been plowed under by the weight of problems and struggles for too long.  Watch and see how that plowing is preparing you to become a beautiful garden.

Where Did Your Seeds Come From?

God sees what you can’t see. He has been planting many seeds into your life, and you don’t always realize that they are there. These seeds may have come from others sharing spiritual truth with you,.  Or perhaps reading the Bible and certain circumstances have drawn your attention to God.  Other ways these seed have been planted are through words of encouragement, Christian music, and sermons, as well as through the Holy Spirit teaching you.

How To Blossom

All you need is to add spiritual nutrition through prayer and meditating on His Word.  Soak up the warm Sonshine of Jesus’ love.  And open your heart to let the water of the Holy Spirit flow into you and then out through you.  As you do, the seeds will grow and poke up through the good soil of your spirit.  (If your spirit hasn’t been good soil, ask His forgiveness and ask Him to make you into good soil.)

Suddenly buds will pop out and bloom.  You’ll find yourself singing His praises.  As you worship in spirit and in truth, the glory of His Presence will manifest in your life.  You will be His beautiful flower garden.  The loveliness and fragrance will draw others to Jesus.
