In the hard stuff… the really tough stuff. The stuff that causes confusion or fear… May we consciously look for the glow of the Lord’s sweet light.
A wildflower just grows… shes unconcerned with the weeds around her; she rises in the sunshine and glows of beauty in the midst of the weeds…
she just shines…
When your heart feels tired, and your mind is on repeat.. stop the overthinking, and turn your eyes to Jesus.
“When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and the thirst of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness.
The Lord is close to all who call on him.”
Psalm 145: 17
Thank you, Dear Jesus, you satisfy the hunger in my soul..
You quiet my thoughts and fill my heart to overflowing with soothing oils of hope and gladness.
You make me see the sweet things… the beautiful things… the things that are blurred and buried by the noise and confusion…
When we start to look deeper than the problem, we begin to see our Jesus in full bloom… He doesn’t compete for our attention… His spirit is still and quiet, just under the surface of all the noise and confusion, that’s where you’ll find him… :)
No matter the situation, no matter the battle cry… His still small voice is waiting… His quiet spirit is calling you near…
When the battle is strong, the wind is ragging, and the noise is overpowering…
He is there.
He is calm… He is waiting for you to be still… Go before him… Let his presence surround your soul and fill your spirit that your life may glow with hope, with kindness… with love and so much goodwill toward man…
There is beauty in the weeds… have you seen a wildflower? They grow no matter what is happening around them… they stand tall, and shine bright… they are fragile, yet strong…
They aren’t like the rest of them… lol! They are sweet, and calming… they are so surprising to see…
The barren fields around them, don’t effect them…
They have purpose in their placement… nothing has hindered their beauty…
“The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing…”
Isaiah 35
That is the really good stuff, and when you stop to see it…
The beauty is amazing….
Live in Love,
