Have you seen a single full blooming flower in the midst of weeds ?
This picture reminds me of courage and beauty. This single flower bloomed where it was planted, bringing beauty to its austere surroundings.
I believe God challenges us to be like this blooming flower : to be content in our surroundings, and to be so rooted and grounded in God that we can grow and bloom in this world. Although we may be only one individual, with God's help, we can make a difference wherever God has planted us.
Let us ask God to help us not to fret about our position in life. Instead help us to reflect the beauty of His love in all of life's circumstances.
Philippians 4:12-13
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
